The story line for this book is wonderful, as are so many of the story's elements -- but I fear the execution doesn't quite live up to it. GIRL has an identity crisis, as though it can't decide if it wants to be a charming children's chapter book (Fyrian, the name Glerk, Luna's unwitting use of magic) or a pretty dark YA book (the Sorrow Eater, the way Xan and Luna are bound together, the Protectorate, the whole leaving-a-baby-in-the-woods thing). I suppose in a way that might make it a good middle grade read, as it will have parts that comfort and parts that challenge for a reader, but I found myself wishing it would be one or the other.
