INITIAL THOUGHTS: I don't believe I've read anything quite like this story. It was amazingly addictive, especially in the last 1/3 of the book when information starts getting disseminated to the reader. I just couldn't read fast enough. I loved all the different elements: the teeth, the wishbone and the war which all help special meaning to the larger story. This story was so richly crafty and well thought out. For me, though, the ending was the only aspect I felt frustrated with.... aka "to be continued"! Ugh!!! Thank goodness I was able to download the next book today!
