《学校图书馆杂志》(School Library Journal)书评
Gr 6-8The rebellious Princess Lenora and her cautious, clairvoyant fiancé, Coren, return. Once again, the princess is bored with the predictable pace of life in Gepeth and seeks adventure, this time searching for a giant who is terrorizing the land. She escapes her parents' scrutiny by creating an idealized version of herself and inadvertently creates a second Coren as well (this one is a swashbuckling adventurer). These two "shadow" characters add both humor and meaning to the tale, exemplifying the ways in which stereotypes limit personal growth. As the four young people seek to discover the source of the problems plaguing Gepeth, they are thrust into many odd situations. Although their views on freewill, personal power, and the importance of balancing diverse needs and abilities are intriguing, Matas and Nodelman occasionally allow these themes to intrude upon the story. Another (minor) weakness is the sheer number of characters and events crammed into the tale. While all are potentially interesting, none are as fully developed as those in the previous book, and the conclusion, while ironically funny, also suffers in comparison to the thought-provoking shocker of the first novel. Despite these quibbles, however, this second collaboration will be welcomed by those who enjoy challenging fiction, told with humor and energy.Lisa Dennis, The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh (c) Copyright 2010.

A sequel to 'Of Two Minds' (Simon), this witty thinking-person's fantasy continues the story of Princess Lenora, who can change the world with the power of her imagination, and Prince Coren, who can read minds. The story abounds with lively characters, such as the clone Lenora makes (to replace herself while she goes off on an adventure), whose bubble-headedness convinces Coren that Lenora's strong-mindedness is a fine trait.
