Catherynne M. Valente enchanted readers with her spellbinding In the Night Garden. Now she continues to weave her storytelling magic in a new book of Orphan’s Tales—an epic of the fantastic and the exotic, the monstrous and mysterious, that will transport you far away from the everyday….

What I enjoyed most out of this book was The Tale of the Hungry Lord, The Tale of the Tiger Harp, and Cats version of Unicorns. Ones enjoyment of this series depends on how well one enjoys being told countless tales of fantasy and magic. If you cannot get enough of that ish, this is the series for you. One small gripe I have with Cats writing style is how impolite walking away must be. If not describing a passerby but an interlocutor, the main characters usually always have an exchange with the

I can't help but remember this saying as I attempt to write down some of my fragmented, all too feeble thoughts regarding Catherynne Valente's masterwork, The Orphan Tales: In the Night Garden and In the Cities of Coin and Spice. To start out with a bang, I have to tell you what my reaction was upon completing the last page of the second book. It was 1am, and I set the book down, after having to re-read one of

Wow. This is a modern masterpiece. Yesterday I finished this book and for what seemed to be different stories with a number of links, all came together in an overarching story. If you're looking for a pageturner, this is not it. It takes some time to really appreciate this book. You really have to pay attention which "level" story you're reading. It's stories, in stories, nested in other stories. Fairytales of all cultures mixed and recreated to a new and magical new world. And all written in

Only this time around, the stories are a little darker, and life at the palace becomes more complex when a terrified Dinarzad becomes engaged to a wealthy man.In The Cities of Coin and Spice is the second and final

With Dinazades marriage soon approaching, the prince returns to the garden to hear more of the girls amazing stories. As she tells him of a journey to the land of the dead, the dead town of Marrow, a devastating hunger, and a huldras attempt to find a place for herself, Dinazade grows ever more afraid of her upcoming marriage and the prince begins to understand better both Dinazade and the strange girl in the garden.This may be the best of Catherynnes books that Ive read. While I would

A beautiful ending to a beautiful story
