This is one I'll get for the high school library. How cool to have a Jewish perspective in medieval/renaissance-set fantasy, and the Russian setting felt pretty authentic (though, when did potatoes come to Russia? Maybe the fairies brought them before Columbus...). I didn't have a problem with the multiple first-person narration, though though it is a bold choice and it did sometimes take me a few sentence figure out who was supposed to be speaking. Clever. I liked Uprooted more, but this one was very, very cool–and more captivating to me than the Temeraire books.
