| A cute, wintry story about gnome-like creatures. I just wish there had been some more character development. There was a hint at it, but it could have been developed more. | |

“Instead of being awed by the sea’s vastness as she had when she first saw it, she now felt overwhelmed.
How could she find anything in that plain of never-ending water? She was just one human—a mere bubble in the limitless ocean.”

“All the shadowed faces turned toward Adelaide. They still looked to her for leadership. Once, it had been like the weight of Cyr on her shoulder: uncomfortable and irritating at times, but worth it.
Now it was like trying to juggle torches: dangerous and terrifying.
For she now knew that her actions could scorch them.”

“It was an awesome and terrible sight, and she couldn’t tear her eyes away. So strong and fierce in form, yet so beautiful in their jeweled scales, in the curve of their necks, in the pain and love in their all-seeing eyes.”

“The consolation of fairy-stories, the joy of the happy ending; or more correctly of the good catastrophe, the sudden joyous "turn" (for there is no true end to any fairy-tale): this joy, which is one of the things which fairy-stories can produce supremely well, is not essentially "escapist," nor "fugitive." In its fairy-tale -- or otherworld -- setting, it is a sudden and miraculous grace: never to be counted on to recur. It does not deny the existence of dyscatastrophe, of sorrow and failure: the possibility of these is necessary to the joy of deliverance; it denies (in the face of much evidence, if you will) universal final defeat and in so far is evangelium, giving a fleeting glimpse of Joy, Joy beyond the walls of the world, poignant as grief.”
