I enjoyed every minute of reading this book. Every minute, which sadly, which was over way too quickly. I was hooked right away, and then a bit confused (I created a character list and still can only count 11 librarians). No matter, this is Carolyn's story. I'm not sure when I realized I was in very capable hands and just relaxed into the story-perhaps after the first chapter. I still can't believe where this tale went. I would put this into the hands of fans of Gaiman, yes, but also fans of Holly Black, Kelly Link, and more masterful storytellers. It is a fantasy novel that forces the reader to ask big questions that is written like a thriller.

Reread in 2019. Still love this book. Still a top 10 Favorite!!!
