Helpful Score: 2
This one was so WEIRD in comparison to the other Gregory Maguire books I've read. It seems really navel-gazing, and the reader has no idea really what is going on, nor why they should care. The main character isn't fleshed out enough to be sympathetic until the last third of the book, and that's only because extraneous people and details stop involving themselves, and the story gels around the protagonist and her quest. I was disappointed. It felt rushed, confused, and unpolished, as though the author threw a bunch of idea Post-Its at a wall and threaded together whatever happened to stick.
