I just bought it, actually. I'd never read it before! And then it was there and I love Robin McKinley usually and I don't know why it took me so long to read it, but now I am all <33333333 at Harimad-sol.
I actually dislike a lot of what Robin McKinley writes, but that book was one of the first sci fi/fantasy books I ever read and I just love it like burning. Have you read the prequel?
Hee. I loved (LOVED) Outlaws of Sherwood and Beauty. And that love lingers, though Deerskin is kind of creepy. Where by "kind of" I mean "it gave me nightmares."
And I read the prequel before I read the one with Harimad, because I'm kind of weird about reading things in order. The Narnia books drove me insane because of that.
Deerskin: so traumatizing! I think I remember liking Beauty, but a lot of the time she loses me at the end of her books where they go from comprehensible to really freaking weird.
