In the Forests of Serre by Patricia A. McKillip

3.0

I've had this sitting on my shelf for years, but sometimes it takes me awhile to get into McKillip books. I love them, though, because they seem so dreamy. I'm not sure what it is, it's not like her characters have no emotion or that they're two dimensional. Maybe they're just two dimensional in that nice dream-fairytale kind of way. Not sure. But all of McKillip's books seem so beautiful in retrospect, even though I can hardly remember what they were about, I remember bits, like a dream. Bits from this book: a firebird floating through a forest, a castle at the top of a waterfall, bees buzzing in golden hair, a monster coming out of a book . . . it was good.
