All the Birds in the Sky

I really liked the beginning of this book, when Laurence and Patricia were children, navigating their respective powers/talents and also the social pressures of being tweens/teens. I could have read an entire book like that. The second half, I found myself reading just to get to the ending a bit. I was still interested, but it was a little draggy. I did like the ending, I thought it all pretty much followed. I really loved the genre bending going on here. I love magic realism, and I love anything that messes with genre, and this was a really beautiful melding of science and magic and fairy tale.
