Hiddensee: A Tale of the Once and Future Nutcracker by Gregory MaguireMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
Gregory Maguire is a great writer. His stories are rich and take you into a fully developed other world. If anyone should do retellings of fairytales, it is Gregory Maguire. He has found his niche. I also enjoyed the Bavarian setting of this book. All of that said, I didn't really enjoy this as much as I have enjoyed other works by Maguire. I found I didn't really care about the characters and wanted to skip forward frequently for some action. I enjoyed it more for my ability to use German than for the plot.
