If ever a book deserved the title of "Lush" this book is it. Taylor casts a magic spell with her language, as if the reader has been sucked into, not a fairy tale, but into a universe where fairy tales are possible and where the ability to believe in things bigger than himself, makes Laszlo Strange, a dreamer, but also someone who can remain untainted by the petty nastiness of those around him. The plot is intriguing. The characters grow and become fleshed out, even those who aren't central to the story. But most important to this book is the writing. If you love words, this is a book for you. It feels like reading long pieces of poetry, if that poetry was the offspring of Coleridge and Asimov. As others have noted, the fact that this comes to a rather sudden and startling stop is unfortunate, but I'm willing to forgive the cliffhanger, as long as the next book gets here quickly!
