The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

Verdict: Read it!

More at my website: Gem in the Rough!

Are all fairy tales like this? Full of characters that are created so well that you feel that they're real, regardless if they're a wyverary or a golem made of soap? Are these so-called children/YA books full of deeper meanings and hiding behind a simple fairy tale storyline? If so, adults are missing out on a whole lot of books and I need to re-read all the books I read as a kid because GUYS this book is so gooood. Haven't felt this kind of bittersweetness since reading John Connolly's The Book of Lost Things and Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book. The writing really gave Fairyland that whimsical feel to it and gave me the impression that Fairyland is both a wonderful and kind of terrifying place to be.
