I rather like this book. While the storyline and some of the details are a bit dark, I am finding the deeper vocabulary and serious approach to human issues quite refreshing; in some ways, it makes my other sci-fi/fantasy reading seem like puff and poof. *grin*
Because there is more attention spent on the characters (and not so much on things like the magic system or how people fight with each other), I feel more pulled into the story. We all know what happens to the "wicked witch of the west", but this perceptive glimpse into the past is extremely intriguing, filled with gall and guile, humility and learning.
