This one was a bit hard for me to rate. I actually sat next to Pon at a book signing once; one of the things she mentioned about this book was that it had a lot of "fantasy." But I think what Pon really meant was that it is a very MYTHICAL type of fantasy. It felt very much like a "Greek-Hero's-Journey" but set in China with a female protagonist. Pon was really able to capture the "Asian spirit" perfectly. Her descriptions of food, the language/dialogue/scenery really made me feel as if I was watching a scene unfold from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." So why the 2 stars? I guess it really just boils down to the content. I wasn't interested in a "greek-type" of story: the protagonist fighting these bizarre mythical creatures one after another with visits to deity...I'm thinking "Jason and the Argonauts" or "Clash of the Titans." Some of the creatures were really bizarre: (view spoiler). There was no explanation of where Ai Ling's power came from or who this "Silver Phoenix" person is. For my taste, there was just too much myth to it and a little too bizarre. CAUTION SIGN: there is a rape scene in it that was described a little bit too sensually.

another book that it took me a while to care about, but in the end I liked the overall lesson. and while I found colin kind of irritating, he grew, and hassan was epically charming and not a character I've seen before in YA or adult lit.
