This is not only an excellent story, but the author has an excellent mastery of the English language.  The imagery within the story makes it possible to watch the story play out in your imagination while you read.  The description of the world and characters is amazing.  The author makes it possible to see and feel what the characters are going through.The hero of the story is great.  She is strong and brave, but still a kid whose nave and scared.  The way she grows throughout the story is wonderful to watch.  The ending is also fitting and brings the story to an excellent close while still leaving the door open for another installment.If it is not totally obvious, I love this book and recommend it to anybody.  It does not have to be somebody that likes YA or fantasy.  It is an excellent story for anybody.This would also be excellent for an `outside the box' book for a history through literature class.  While I understand that this is completely fictional, it covers the possible implications of discovery and imperialism well and lends itself to class discussions.  It also is not a boring book and would maintain student interest.  I am not a teacher, but I know a few and have recommended that they get themselves a copy.I received a complimentary copy of this book in order to review it.
