Great book - kept me on my toes - I couldn't predict any of the major plot developments and with another cliff-hanger ending I am waiting on pins and needles until the next on comes out!

An amazing book that I read more than 30 years ago. This is one I definitely am going to reread soon.

A wonderful integration of the shamanic world into the political and personal histories of pre-revolutionary Mexico. Great characters! Favorite quote (to explain the elaborate preparations for the Day of the Dead): "Everybody knew that being dead could put you in a terrible mood."

** spoiler alert ** Originally posted at Nose in a Book It’s important to start out this review by stating the fact that I love Lisa McMann. I recently met her and we bonded over the fact that we’re both midwesterners currently living in the desert, but more importantly she didn’t mind when I flailed my arms and tried to keep my emotions under control (I tend to lose it when I meet authors I love.) But really, I loved this book. I loved McMann’s first series, The Wake Trilogy, and this reminded me why. Although this book has nothing to do with her original series, her writing feels like home to me. I fall in love with the characters and the fact that McMann understands a teenager (probably because she has two of them!) Cryer’s Cross is the story of Kendall. Kendall is a strong girl, who has problems but also has goals to leave Cryer’s Cross (Population 220!) Kendall has a best friend who understands her and said issues, and gets along with her parents. The fact she got along with her parents was nice to me, I was a teen who got along with her parents. I understand that it’s rare, but it is possible. SPOILERS AHOY Kendall has OCD. It takes over her life and while she tries to control it she often has “ticks”. She goes to school early to make sure everything is just so, which works out because her BFF, Nico doesn’t mind and understands that Kendall is Kendall. The story begins with a girl going missing, an important plot point. Soon people begin to accept life with the girl going missing but Kendall can’t. Kendall can’t forget, and then two new students join the school/class and they are now the only thing the town talks about. The new girl seems nice, but the new boy (new girl’s brother) is a tad aloof. Kendall doesn’t think much about this. She is worried about other things, college, soccer practice, helping out at her parents farm. Something happens. Nico, her BFF, disappears. Kendall is at a lost. He’s the one person who really got her. Nico and her weren’t dating but they pretty much were (okay so it’s complicated.) This makes it complicated for Kendall when her and Jacian (the new boy) become close while searching for Nico and bonding over soccer. Here’s the awesome thing about McMann’s stories: they’re realistic. People stay dead, she doesn’t get into that dream school and yeah, she does get the boy but the ending is still bitter sweet and perfect for Kendall’s story.

Very good. Very exciting to see how it all ends. I appreciate the internal struggle that Harry goes through, but I still think that it doesn't quite measure up to some of the earlier books--I think 2 or 4 would have to be my favorite.

Sad, sad and sad! Three people trapped in a triangle of tradition and modern society- all are miserable and waiting.

***Български*** Много съм разочарована. Не че очаквах нещо друго. Идеята беше добра, но не беше представена по завладяващ начин. Някои от нещата не са обяснени въобще, което те оставя да се чудиш какво по дяволите се случва. Краят беше неочакван, но в никакъв случай добър (силен). Главната героиня - Луси (или както там се казва), като цяло е една нерешителна идиотка. Историята би ми харесала повече, ако се разказваше през очите на Даниел, защото той беше единственият герой, към който изпитвах някакви симпатии. Като цяло зле написана книга с добра история. Не я препоръчвам. ***English*** I must say that I'm really disappointed. Not that I expected something amazing. The idea of the book is great but it wasn't portrayed in a captivating way. There are some things that are not explained at all so it leaves you wandering what the hell is happening. The ending was unexpected ... not in a good way. The main character Lucy (or however her name is written, I really don't care) is basically an indecisive idiot. I really would have liked the story more if it was followed through the eyes of Daniel because he was the only character that I had some sympathy for. Over all the book was poorly written, but the idea of the story was good.

It's a good book. Better in my mind than his previous work, Last Light of the Sun. Kay is by far my favorite author. He also has framed my writing life, in many ways. I discovered that I could write about the time that I first picked up The Summer Tree, his first book. I still remember standing in the library in high school, holding the book and talking to my friend Tracy about it. Tracy, incidentally, was the reason I started writing, and the first person to ever read any of my fiction. I also remember that, clearly. Chorus. Three pages, blue folder. Beating heart. I was fifteen. Which, apropos, is the same age as the protagonist in Ysabel. On paper, it sounds a bit like a typical fantasy that's been done before, except that it's not. It's the story of Ned Marriner, a 15 year old Canadian visiting the Provence region of France with his father, a famous photographer, and his father's crew. While at a photo shoot, he bumps into an American exchange student named Kate. In turn, the blunder into a 2,000 year old story and Ned finds that his life changes as he learns more about himself and his family. This book seems like a bit of a change for Kay, since all of his books since Fionavar have been set in a fictional historical past. This book is quite clearly set in the present, complete with iPods and 15-year old boy-speak. Kay has a son, so that part is not as bad as you might think. It was a bit distracting at first, and the sad part is that it will date the book somewhat. But, it's not a new type of writing for Kay. It's more like a return to the old, back to when he wrote a trilogy about five Canadian youths being pulled into a world that was not their own. Ysabel stays rooted in our world, has that magic that the Fionavar Tapestry had, but with the maturity of twenty-two years of writing behind it, and the weaving in of history that makes Kay's other books so enjoyable. It also has that skillful telling of plot and events in such a way that at some point you feel yourself go cold, then warm, and then you're flailing at one in the morning, because you should have seen that coming, but you didn't because you were engrossed in the plot. Like you're supposed to be. In all fairness, I should have flailed earlier. There were certain things that were so familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it until page 344, when it came into sharp relief. Though I must admit that in the first part of the book, I was watching how Kay wrote the book, as well as reading the story. In some ways, learning to write killed a bit of my joy of reading, because I *do* start to see what authors are doing, how they are dropping elements, clues, plot. The first part does move more slowly than the second, but it sets up the characters well. But at a certain point Kay's writing overwhelmed me, and I slipped into the story. That's a shear joy, to get lost completely in the book. I haven't had a flailing OMG! experience reading a book in years. Nor have I often stayed up far too late to finish a novel. Not since my childhood. And if I could write half as well as Kay, I would die a happy woman. It's a good book, yes. I think my only criticism was that toward the end, Kate, who was such a integral part of the first half, fades into the background, behind all of the other characters. But I'll forgive Kay for that because of what came to the foreground.
