Description:
"A new language, a new landscape, and a new people--all unforgettable." -Horn Book "Any book that, at one point or another, reminded me of The Sheikh , Gunga Din , Islandia , and, The Lord of the Rings , can't be anything but a true original." -Asimov's Science Fiction "McKinley knows her geography of fantasy, the nuances of the language, the atmosphere of magic..." -The Washington Post "This is a zesty, romantic heroic fantasy with an appealing stalwart heroine, a finely realized mythical kingdom, and a grounding in reality that enhances the tale's verve as a fantasy." - Booklist "McKinley has reworked many familiar mythological motifs into a tale that is completely fresh; her spare and eloquent prose is sheer delight. The novel succeeds not only as fantasy/adventure, but also as a compelling portrait of the vibrant, wryly humorous Harry." - School Library Journal "It is a fresh and interesting setting for a novel of high fantasy. Like the desert air, the tone is open and bright and brilliant." -Marilyn H. Karrenbrock
