"Grace Lin has written a middle-grade trilogy of surpassing wonder
and emotional weight... Remarkable... A must-read... Full of charm
and driving action... Lin has made herself immortal in this
trilogy, no doubt."--The New York Times Book Review
* "The lively mixture of adventure, mystery, and fantasy, supported
by compelling character development and spellbinding language, will
captivate a wide swath of readers."--Publishers Weekly, starred
review
*"Compelling....Lin's fans will not be disappointed: she again
delivers a rich interweaving of ancient tales with fast-paced
adventure, fantasy, and slowly unfolding mysteries told through
captivating language."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
*"Lin's evocative language sweeps readers away, and the stories
within the story are juicy and delicious....[A] worthy companion to
her Newbery Honor book Where the Mountain Meets the Moon (2009) and
Starry River of the Sky (2012)."--Booklist (starred review)
*"Lin's vibrant chapter decorations and full-color, full-page
paintings add to the work's beauty....A stunning addition to a
deservedly beloved set of novels; recommended for all middle grade
collections."--School Library Journal (starred review)
*"On its own, this third volume contains a richly complex adventure
story that revisits previous themes....The three books together,
however, offer one grand epic that spans generations....Lin's
stonecutter claims that storytellers 'can make time
disappear...bring us to places we have never dreamed of...feel
sorrow and joy and peace'; the description is a fitting one for
author-illustrator Lin herself, who has proven herself a
master."--The Horn Book, starred review
*"The meticulous craft delivers what Lin's fans have come to
expect... This beautifully told companion to Where the Mountain
Meets the Moon (2009) and Starry River of the Sky (2012) offers
lyrical storytelling, bringing 'us to places we have never dreamed
of.'"--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"In this captivating tale... readers will not only enjoy the
'frame' story revolving around Pinmei and Yishan, but will also
like (and recognize) some of the other stories being told."--School
Library Connection
"Pinmei's journey has a compelling urgency that quickens the pace
and enlivens the adventure, while the short stories are smoothly
integrated and provide sly, subtle connections to plot events,
making satisfying the climactic scene in which the elements
converge....Lin's characteristic elegant prose...keeps its
enchanting, luminous quality."--BCCB
