I just finished reading the first Montmaray book, and am eagerly waiting for my next trip to the library to get the next. I found the ending of the first one a little anticlimactic (odd, I know, since it was packed so full of action - I just expected there to be more BIG REVEALS), but I'm guessing that's because it was only the first in the series. And for the most part, I loved it.

Runaway Princess and Runaway Dragon are two books I am going to buy for my girls as soon as they are old enough to enjoy them - I LOVE the spunky characters in Kate Coombs' books, and the clever twists on fairy tales.

And now I really, really am going to have to read Elizabeth C Bunce.
