Title jumped out at me from the YALSA 2011 top 99 books list. I expected something closer to an old Enid Blyton version of the folk/fairy tale, one girl rewarded for kindness, the other punished, but was delighted to see a story that went far beyond this. Beautiful, detailed world and societies, characters and events.
Was so swept up in the story that I didn't realize how completely made-up the worlds were (I thought I was in old India).
