1: Not Your Typical Romance Novel
Four stories intertwine to create this joyous fantasy. The depth to each story creates a realism unlike most romance novels.

2: Fascinating
This is a very interesting book, with four stories in one, and they're all tied in and interlinked and you care about them all. Its beautiful and compelling and a joyous fantasy. I absolutely loved it as well as the way she writes, and the depth of the characters involved. There have been reviewers who dont like her style, prefer one story, or get iritated by trivial details that must be different in a book involving so many characters hearts, not just two people alone in the world. I thought she did an excellent job of keeping all the characters alive and real and sucking you into their world so you care about what they care about and you cry when they cry. I thought the multiple stories and their intertwining relationships brought a depth and realism thats unusual for romance novels. It was both fantastic and fascinating.

3: Too many subplots spoil the main plot
The book was better than I expected but could have been tighter. The whole story about Eve and Tyler was unneccessary and distracting from the core stories of Maylene and Allison and the building of the Jade Palace.

4: Wonderful!
At first, when reading this book, I thought that there were too many plots, and that once one actually started to care about one character, the author would jump to someone else. However, as the book moved along and I saw how beautifully all the characters and plotlines came together, I couldn't put the book down. Despite the fact that I guessed who the "bad guy" was way before the end, it was an amazing book--one of my favorites!!!

5: Hoped to find the real Pearl Moon
After my second trip to Hong Kong, I read this book. I knew exactly the places mentioned in the book. I so enjoyed the book that I called the author in an attempt to find the location of the real "Pearl Moon". (She's my next-door neighbor's sister!) And I was disappointed to find that the shop was a wonderful figment of her imagination. I have read and enjoyed all of K.S.'s books.... and this one I'll reread before I return to Hong Kong again this spring.
