Redemption in Indigo

Just wow, new favorite book. I think in some ways this made me feel like how I feel when I read The Hobbit - I just felt completely transported and hypnotized by the whimsy and magic of it. I can see why this is not everyone's cup of tea, but I disagree with reviews that this is a children's story largely because that does a great disservice to Lord's spectacular writing - speaking of which I can't believe this is their debut, but plot wise I guess on the same hand I can see it. Regardless, all of Lord's works are now on my TBR.
