So, I just finished reading the first story in The Empire of Ice Cream... and already, I've fallen in love with the book. I'm not sure what exactly what it was about Magic for Beginners. It's not that I didn't really like it, per se, I just didn't understand most of it. And it was very dark. I don't think I'll ever look at rabbits the same way again. They give me nightmares now. It was just so refreshing to read a story that was supposed to have faeries in it and actually find faeries in the plot. If "The Annals of Eelin-Ok" is any indication of how good the rest of the book is going to be, I think I'm in for a treat.
Plus, I've always wondered about the existence of sand castles and who they were originally built for. Now, I know.

Speaking of rabbits that give you nightmares...seen DONNIE DARKO recently? lol
ah, i saw that movie right before i left for holidays, and wow... it was sooo weird. but pretty good
The first story is the one I'm presenting, so I won't say much about it, but I will say this: I am definitely glad we read Link first because it got me thinking about stories in a different way when I read them. Most authors don't write entertaining stories just for the escape, but for the message they send out about real life issues. zip
