I found I, Coriander quite a magical book to read. It had a great combo of fact and fantasy. The characters were excellent, you’ll either love them or loathe them. I especially love Coriander's step sister for her lovely character and very much despise her step-mother and the preacher that she was in cahoots with. The character development, the story flow was all good and the magical aspects made the book even better.
A definite must read.

I loved this book too! I like the new cover (if it's new?)
Yup, your blog looks really good! :)
Ooh, I also read this book some time ago. Quite an interesting story but it didn't pull me in from the start. It only got fast-paced for me when the preacher character appeared. Man, he was pure evil.
