In reply to Trapunto. I read them when I was little. Not recently. I think I was going through them around the time that I was writing this story, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Oz books were an influence.

In reply to Jenny. I would so read that. Have you done the Oz books? The one with "General Jinjur's Army of Revolt"? Where the girl soldiers have the four colors of the kingdoms of Oz in each of the panels of their four-gored skirts, and jab at enemies with their knitting needles?

I’m dropping by to see if you did end up reviewing this (I’m ridiculously behind in clearing my Google Reader); I started reading it last night and am seriously loving it for all the reasons you have mentioned above.

In reply to Lesley. Well, I would apologize, except that it's a really good addition to your TBR list! Plus it's full of plot and character, but it's not a long book at all, very easy to clear it off the list again in only a few hours.
