Bridge of Birds

I just spent three very pleasant days with Master Li and Number Ten Ox. What an adventure! This is one of the most clever books I have read in a very long time. Surprises awaited at every turn, and I liked the crazy cast of characters. I am tempted to read it again and write down every little puzzle and gift just to see them match up again. There were some laugh out loud moments in this book, so fair warning if you are sneaking a few pages in at work. (The Feb 2013 pick for Sword and Laser).
