This was a creepy fun story with lots and lots of crazy odd creatures. In fact, I felt there were a few too many with too few explanations. While I enjoyed the overall story and how it played out, I felt like I was in the dark (literally) about some of the fantasy elements. Definitely for those who prefer creepy stories.

Magic is most interesting when it works like a physical weapon: the character is given it (or learns she has it), and has to learn how to use it. It behaves according to rules, and she has to learn those rules in order to use it effectively. In a historical novel, you never see a character pick up a sword for the first time and just know exactly how to best the powerful enemy. So why does this happen so often with fantasy magic?

This book was adorable and one I would have absolutely loved as a kid! There are reflections of Coraline and Eva Ibbotson novels in Nieve but it is certainly a unique work of its own. Nieve as a character is brilliant and straight forward. She's an incredible role model because she doesn't mince words, speaks her mind and thinks everything through logically. She uses both her heart and her brain to make decisions and that's truly admirable.I would love to see Nieve made into a Tim Burton film,

The story was original, and the writing was decent, but sometimes seemed a bit too descriptive. Overall a good read. Not stellar, but interesting enough to catch kids.
Good premise, but poorly explained and executed. I almost gave up halfway, but thought I'd might as well see if it got better, which it didn't. The illustrations are extremely cool and atmospheric, and a few are downright scary (which is why I call this book YA; the story isn't, but I've known a few 8 to 10-year-olds who would enthusiastically pick this up and then be terrified by some of the pictures).
