Liked it, and loved the ending. _Loved_ the last couple lines, and the end of the note: it leads to such possibility.

Better than I thought it would be. Not a reread, but not a bad read.

My childhood!

Also a huge part of my childhood - 'whimsical' is a good word, as is 'weird', but the best is probably 'chamring'. You cannot dislike Jannson's style or her characters. A book everyone would enjoy, regardless of age or apparent maturity.

Molly is basically made of awesome.

Really enjoyed it. The characters are active and mostly you understand what they're doing (there are a few places that bear rereading) and the settings are complex, engaging, brightly-defined.

Awesome like Neuromancer and Idoru.

Ew.

The first book was good - I liked the realism. The second book - well, I put down in the middle, maybe I'll pick it back up but I'm not sure. It didn't hold my interst the same way.

But the first book really did a good job in depicting mercenary life and campaigning. I'm reccing it to a military friend.

Reread. That should say enough. :D

Loved this one. It and "Wrinkle in Time" are the L'Engle books I remember the best. I love the slower, more measured pace, and the time L'Engle takes to write what there is to show.

Takes a bit (and a bit of patience) to pick up (both grammatically and in the way of plot), but overall enjoyable.
