The Goose Girl
The Goose Girl by the ever awesome Shannon Hale was a pleasant surprise. Following a tale of love, adventure, mutiny and friendship, The Goose Girl has got something for everyone.
Meet Anidori-Kiladra Talianna Isilee, the Crown Princess of the tiny kingdom of Kalindree. When she is betrayed, stripped of her crown, and sent to wed the prince of a neighboring country with nothing but her guard and lady in waiting, she refuses to be kept down.
She is forced to go into hiding as the goose girl, Isi. When she meets one of the Prince’s handsome guards, Geric, she falls in love. But alas, it was not to be. An unlikely fantasy owned on so many levels. The characters stole your heart. The writing was spectacular. I was never one for fairy tales, but this had me believing in happily-ever-after.
I give it 8 out of 9 wicked awesome shurikens. Also, I command you to go out and read it. NOW!
In the middle of reading this AGAIN,
