Story4 out of 5 stars 244
A century ago, the Sentience Wars tore the galaxy apart and nearly ended the entire concept of intelligent space-faring life. In the aftermath, a curious tradition was invented - something to cheer up everyone who was left and bring the shattered worlds together in the spirit of peace, unity, and understanding. Once every cycle, the civilizations gather for the Metagalactic Grand Prix - part gladiatorial contest, part beauty pageant, part concert extravaganza, and part continuation of the wars of the past.

Between life and death, dreaming and waking, at the train stop beyond the end of the world is the city of Palimpsest. To get there is a miracle, a mystery, a gift, and a curse - a voyage permitted only to those who’ve always believed there’s another world than the one that meets the eye. Those fated to make the passage are marked forever by a map of that wondrous city tattooed on their flesh after a single orgasmic night. To this kingdom of ghost trains, lion-priests, living kanji, and cream-filled canals come four travelers.

Her name is Binti, and she is the first of the Himba people ever to be offered a place at Oomza University, the finest institution of higher learning in the galaxy. But to accept the offer will mean giving up her place in her family to travel between the stars among strangers who do not share her ways or respect her customs. Knowledge comes at a cost, one that Binti is willing to pay, but her journey will not be easy. The world she seeks to enter has long warred with the Meduse, an alien race that has become the stuff of nightmares.

But magical lands have little need for used-up miracle children. Nancy tumbled once, but now she's back. The things she's experienced...they change a person. The children under Miss West's care understand all too well. And each of them is seeking a way back to their own fantasy world.

The lives of six female superheroes and the girlfriends of superheroes. A ferocious riff on women in superhero comics. From the New York Times best-selling author Catherynne Valente comes a series of linked stories from the points of view of the wives and girlfriends of superheroes, female heroes, and anyone who's ever been "refrigerated": comic book women who are killed, raped, brainwashed, driven mad, disabled, or had their powers taken so that a male superhero's storyline will progress.

The disease affects young, old, rich, poor, people of every color and creed. The world changes to meet the challenge.

Welcome to the Home for Wayward and Misbegotten Creatures, an institution run by evil Miss Carbunkle, a cunning villainess who believes her terrified young charges exist only to serve and suffer. Part animal and part human, the groundlings toil in classroom and factory, forbidden to enjoy anything regular children have, most particularly singing and music. For the Wonderling, an innocent-hearted, one-eared, fox-like eleven-year-old with only a number rather than a proper name - a 13 etched on a medallion around his neck - it is the only home he has ever known.

More than a match for the ruthless pirate crew, Alosa has only one thing standing between her and the map: her captor, the unexpectedly clever and unfairly attractive first mate Riden. But not to worry, for Alosa has a few tricks up her sleeve, and no lone pirate can stop the Daughter of the Pirate King.

Publisher's Summary
September has been crowned queen of Fairyland, but the kingdom is in chaos. The magic of a dodo egg has brought every king, queen, and marquess of Fairyland back to life, all with claims to the throne and their own plots and histories. In order to make sense of it all, and to save their friend from a job she doesn't want, A-Through-L and Saturday devise a Royal Race, a Monarchical Marathon, in which every would-be ruler will chase the Stoat of Arms across the nation, and the first to seize the poor beast will be crowned. Caught up in the madness are September's parents, who have crossed the universe to find their daughter.

I adored this
Who was your favorite character and why?
There are many wonderful characters in this series, but I'd have to say that my favorite is Blunderbuss the Combat Wombat. She's a hoot and very tough in an appropriate children's book way.
Any additional comments?
I wasn't sure that I was going to finish this series, which would have been tragic because this book and The Boy Who Lost Fairyland are, in my opinion, the best. There are no loose ends, except for those that imply the adventure lives on. Everything wraps up in ways that both pleased and surprised me.
Valente has a clever way with words and such a delightful imagination. This series is unlike anything I've read before and given how much I read, that's saying quite a bit.

we say goodbye to the girl in Fairyland
Any additional comments?
it is not my favorite series to be honest, but i did enjoy it. the writing isn't as confusing as the third book and readers of young age shouldn't have trouble following the story. Not to be rude toward the Author or anything but i wish she would stop narrating her books.
although it is the final book of the series i got a feeling M. Valente will pick it up again one day with new heroine, until then, we says our goodbyes to the girl who brought us to Fairyland.

I have loved every moment of the Fairyland saga and this final installment wraps up all the loose ends and ties them into a lovely yarn animal. Listening to the author read her own work brings a sly joy to the story.

There are too many to list. Every scene's a gem.
Which scene was your favorite?
Too many to name!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did in fact.
Any additional comments?
You need this series in your life. Haunting, tender, lyrical and emotionally satisfying all at once.
