A wonderful, terrible, epic tale of heroism and cowardice, loyalty
and betrayal, love and loss, joy and tragedy.... Each volume stands
on its own, but together they create a tapestry more complex,
meaningful, and compelling than its individual parts.-- "School
Library Journal"
Grand, thought-provoking entertainment.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
Newbery Medalist Voigt just gets better and better.... All the
hallmarks of classic fantasy appear, transformed by Voigt's gift
for storytelling and the effortless beauty of her prose--and by the
superb intelligence she endows upon her characters. Each section of
this novel is riveting, mined with powerful surprises. Voigt's
themes reverberate beyond the fantasy world; her explorations
through imaginary landscapes parallel a psychic journey through
questions of identity, ethics, friendship and love. A model for the
genre.-- "Publishers Weekly"
