I tried, I really really tried. The premise was intriguing, and at times I felt like I was getting into the story, and then something would just jar me out of it. I made it through Act 1, then read about 4 pages of Act 2 and decided life is way too short to force myself through something that was becoming painful.

I liked, and didn't like this story. I thought the premise was brilliant, and I loved the layout of the book. It is told in "acts", like in a play. The whole book is set in the same world but, each "act" was told Ina different wild child's point of view. I'm not a very religious person, and this book was all about religion.

This is the freshest, most unusual little story I have read in a long, long time. If you love fairytales or fables or just fantasy, if you miss the just so stories that made reading magic in the first place, don't wait another second. Get this and read it right now. I'm not going to try to summarize anything; I can't do it without mangling it. I can only say it is beautiful - wonderfully written and plotted and carried through to a perfect ending. Seriously. Read it now.
