So I am curious to see if you all like this one less well.....Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835101886202235868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-80791836160394883722013-11-01T20:41:38.364-05:002013-11-01T20:41:38.364-05:00Yeah, I thought hard about the Native American asp...Yeah, I thought hard about the Native American aspect, and decided that although the fantasy culture shared material elements and geographic elements, it didn't go so far as to appropriate deeper, more meaningful culture. As to hold vs purchase--I think you would like it lots, and I am glad to have a hard copy to keep on my own shelf...but I'm reluctant to go any further and say yes buy it, because I'm not exactly certain it's the right one for you. I am now very curious to see if it is, so do let me know!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835101886202235868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-42814791557740658442013-11-01T20:16:03.430-05:002013-11-01T20:16:03.430-05:00I'm another who loved Plain Kate to tears, and...I'm another who loved Plain Kate to tears, and am so looking forward to this one--I had been curious about your response to the Native American inspirations, and am so pleased that it's Okay.

Erin has had me in tears for days once already (Plain Kate) and told me this would also make me cry. She loves to make me cry.

I'm being good and getting it from the library, but it hasn't arrived yet for processing (so says my hold update, anyway). I read the first paragraph of your review and barely skimmed the rest because I don't want to spoil myself... but that mention of Patricia McKillip - YES! <br /><br />Also, I luuuurrrrrved PLAIN KATE, so I knew this would be a book for me. Can't wait!!!Ceceliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249223364936344560noreply@blogger.com
