I absolutely LOVED this one. I was lucky enough to get an ARC of it and I don't think I've stopped thinking about it ever since I've read it.

So cool that you play the harp! Joanna Newsom is one of my all time favorite musicians and she plays the harp beautifully :)

I had some of the same complaints as you when it came to the cameras and gifts being dropped from the sky...I though "oh wait!! That's going to tell everyone where she is!!" but overall, I agree with you. This was so much better than most YA that's out there these days :) Great review!
