Catherynne M. Valente writes like no one else. Her words are magic, and I just love her. This was just a short story, and I usually don't like short stories, but it was a wonderful little addition to the Fairyland world.

Just when I finished was really when things started to get interesting. But sometimes that's the best finish for a short story.

In which we find out how Mallow was a good person and at the same time not someone to mess with. Probably would have given it five stars if it had been longer.

Short but lovely, a great companion short story to her other fairyland story.

I really liked to get some background information on some of the characters, especially the Green Wind. Also the wyvern's mom is mentioned in one sentence :D

Hmm... well that didn't make much sense. Apparently this is best read after the first book? Oh well.

I would read an entire series of Mallow’s life in Fairyland.
