Jessica Day George, Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow
Bloomsbury (2008) ISBN: 1-59990-109-9
Score: 2
A YA retelling of the Norse fairy tale "East of the Sun, West of the Moon" (I think with some other tales mixed in too). Quite enjoyable, though it had the problem of characters being aware of some genre conventions (third son) but not others (youngest daughter). I did like how we were told halfway through that certain characters were dead and they didn't appear later.
Next Book: A. Lee Martinez, The Automatic Detective
