I enjoyed this book. I am not sure how to describe it but the style of the book reminded me of The Last Unicorn by Beagle. It had that dreamy/mythology/wisdom vibe to it. There was also some beautiful descriptive prose to enjoy, and it tells this love story nicely. This is not an action pact adventure with mysteries to solve; it's the poemy words that keep you reading.
I liked the main character and I wished to see more of her life lessons and interactions with different types of people. I didn't like her name though, it's a romantic book- give the poor girl a "romantic" name. The images that blowing wind conjures in my head doesn't do her justice. The secondary characters are interesting and I would have loved the opportunity to read more about their adventures during the book.
This is a return to old school fantasy so if that rocks your boat, I would give it a gander. I will be interested in reading more from this author.

I'm actually really pleased by this review. Three stars there means that it's liked, so that's not a bad rating at all. I'm even compared to The Last Unicorn, a childhood favorite!!!
BlowingWind's name is actually very important to her character, and thanks to this review I now know that I definitely need to include the reasoning as to why her parents chose that name for her. So this was an extremely helpful review.
