This was as beautiful and satisfying as I imagined this sequel to be. What immediately stood out was the wonderful way in which the reintroduction to all the characters took place...careful and perfectly timed—it was exceptionally well done. Taylor always delivers a fantastic combination of enchanting prose and engaging settings, and this is no exception. Her characters could only be more vivacious if they jumped off the page and stood in my living room doing a jig. Just brilliant.

I need to catch up with the books of hers I have yet to read, and I will be sure to read anything new that comes along.
