Review"A high fantasy as perfectly shaped and eloquently told as Beauty and The Hero and the Crowna lavish and lasting treat." -Publishers Weekly"McKinley writes with complete assurance, and the novel's climax is both compelling and a delightful change from formulaic fantasy." -The Christian Science Monitor"As delicately structure as the chambers of a honeycomb, this novel begs to be read[Readers] who long for beautiful phrases and descriptive writing will find themselves drinking in this rich fairy tale as if it were honey trickling down their throats." -School Library Journal"McKinley integrates the world-building smoothly into a narrative that is a sensory delight, laden with tangible tastes and scents. Themes of stewardship, beekeeping and the power of duty and love flow through the story like the honey described so temptingly." -BooklistProduct DescriptionThe earthlines speak to Mirasol, but her family has lived in the demesne for centuries, and many of the old families can hear the land.
