Once I got past the extremely trying first 40% of this book, I wound up enjoying it immensely. Definitely enough to read the next one. Alaida of Alnwick has had her grandfather and uncle imprisoned, has had to put up with numerous unwanted suitors, and now is being given in marriage by a king she doesn't like to a man she doesn't trust. Ivo has lived for over two hundred years under a curse that forces him to spend daylight in the form of an eagle. It is only during the night that he can be a man. But he can't tell his new wife this, partly because he fears her reaction and partly because he wants what small slice of time he can have to live as a normal man with a wife and family. That is, until his companion Sir Ari has a vision that Ivo's child will be cursed as well. As if it wasn't bad enough to lie to Alaida about his mysterious absences during the day, now Ivo must try to control his urges for fear of getting Alaida with child. But he soon finds out he's too late... The first almost half of this book is spent concentrating really on the separation between Ivo and Alaida - he can't be with her during the day, but he can't tell her why, and that makes Alaida stuck in a marriage she doesn't want with a man keeping secrets from her and she's alone and bitter most of the day. It isn't until she leaves to check the properties Ivo has bequeathed her, and they return and have to come together to stand up to a neighbor that you begin to see any worthwile interactionb between Ivo and Alaida. They spend more time together, getting to know one another, and even though Alaida is hurt and confused as to why Ivo now doesn't want to bed her, she can't help but fall for him. I like how Lisa Hendrix doesn't do what a lot of authors do when the book includes long separations - oh, we hardly know each other, but the sex was great, so it must be love. Kudos for that. Brand (a bear) and Ari (a raven) make interesting secondary characters and I Can't wait to read their books (especially Brand). B-

I supposedly read this in 11th grade US History, but I don't think I really did. So it's been on my "to read" list ever since.

I don't know if this book is actually good or if I love it because I grew up around Mooreland and know the author and her family. I forced my book club to read it and they thought it was cute. I think it's hysterical!

I loved this book. Not as much as "Walking to Mercury" but it was very good. Good character development and the story is an important one. Made me thirsty.

This is my favorite Hesse book. It shows off his traditional subject of duality (e.g. divine vs. profane), with a compelling plot and great style. Read it!

I like a good origin story. This one is about that awkward time when all of the sudden, a whole bunch of automobiles started showing up in our cities. People without cars, kept doing what they had been doing, walking around, playing baseball in the streets, etc, but they inconveniently kept dying because people kept running them over. Turns out, as soon as the car came around, people with them automatically had a bloated sense of entitlement. The book drills down into the struggle between the old ways and the new, and how the industry fought to win the hearts, minds, and streets from the people, and were able to turn these public spaces into a private sphere for the few. Along the way, they were able to criminalize and marginalize walking, while resisting any regulation to their rights to speed and parking, altering everything in their path. Eventually, engineers had to turn their skills to engineering traffic, and while at first they were trying to slow down and prevent recklessness, they eventually went to the darkside and were engineering how to make as many cars go as fast as possible, taking it to its logical place we now see. Hindsight is 20/20, but it's odd that people actually bought into their odd utopia of the automobile city. It's kinda sad how little has changed in a century.
