Bewitching and alluring! I couldn't put it down. Adds depth to the typical fairy tale.

Saaski is half-Folk and half-human. She is exchanged for a human child and forced to grow up among humans, but she never feels like she belongs anywhere, either with the Folk or with her human family. The villagers tease and ridicule her, calling her a witch, but Saaski finds an unexpected friendship with a goatherd boy on the moors.

One of the reasons I love this book so much is because I grew up also torn between two cultures, two countries, and never quite felt that I belonged in either one of them. Like Saaski, I had to find my own way, and make my own world.

Saaski is beautifully strange and brave. I love the magic of the Folk and the imaginative story!
Just as good reading it the second time!
