Funny you liking the title, that's why I bought it. Walked into a bookstore, saw the title and took it off the shelve imediately without even looking at the author or reading the blurb.

What I loved about this book was how different it was. A Russian girl who dreams of being an astronuaght teams up with a 1000 (or something) year old hero from the stuff of legends and crosses over to another world where the line between magic and technology seem very blured.

Liz WIlliams has a staggering imagination and there was such a Russianess about this book as well which made it something else out of the ordinary.

If I'm honest it wasn't my favourite book and I probably wouldn't read it again but it was good.
