"What a pleasant surprise! My initial outrage over the interruption of our story turned quickly into delight. Admittedly, I’d grown a bit tired, by the last book, of the same old, same old. This book approaches things from a different angle. That in itself ends up being a wonderful thing, but even more wonderful is the return of the imaginative storytelling—and creative and whimsical prose—that captivated me in the first place."
