Query: An amazing book, an even more amazing author

I would have given this book 6 stars just for it's content. The depth here is superior to any other fantasy I have read besides Lord of the Rings. I love the cahacters both main and secondary. Rhapsody is one of the best heroines I've ever seen. She tranmutes, changes, grows in the story. She has a generous spirit and her devotion to protecting kids makes her a more realistic female character than the Xena babes in other books. Grunthor is wonderful, and Achmed the snake is one of the best characters in fnatasy, complex and fascinating.But this morning I read in USA TODAY that Elizabeth Haydon gave all the money from this book to a pediatric AIDS Foundation. No I see where Rhapsody gets it.
