I thoroughly enjoyed Wingling, and the second volume, Dark Magic.  Be sure to read Wingling first.  It sets the stage for the second book.  But it is not just preamble.  It is an enjoyable book in its own right.  I am not big on lengthy descriptions (guess that comes from having to read Red Badge of Courage in school and discuss it sentence by sentence, endlessly) and Wingling provided just enough description to provide good mental images of the tale without overdoing it. Ellery strikes a good balance between infallible and totally inept heroine.  That helped keep the book believable, interesting, and fun to read.
