Laini Taylor, I think I love you. Your brain must be a wonderful place. (What really makes this are the gorgeous illustrations by the author's husband, Jim DiBartolo -- see here, here, here, and here for examples -- which makes it even more puzzling how that awful book cover managed to come about. Marketing, I suppose. If it was me, I'd have used one of the actual illustrations from inside the book.)And please, whatever you do, don't discount this book because of the cover. Or the description. Or the genre. See Ceridwen's review for more and better reasons. Yeah, it's one of those reviews. SUCK IT, MONKEYS, IT'S FRIDAY.
