Here's another one.
But no, really, this fantasy novel is fun and easy to read. It's clean and the story has a certain universal appeal. On a personal note, I did at times find the headstrong female character just a tad bit annoying. But even worse was the idiot king who believed her--over and over and over again.
Other than his gullibility, however, I did have a certain affinity for said king, who I found rather attractive. Alas, our dear peasant can't have both the love interest and the antagonist.
Who this book will appeal to: I think it's marketed as YA. Personally I think it felt more like MG, appealing to children, especially girls, aged 9-15.
Here's the author's blog! Go check her out, support her, and ask your local library to buy a copy!

I'm quite intrigued to give this a try!!! Thanks a lot for sharing!
Do authors receive a percentage of what the library purchases as well? I've always been curious at to how the system works!
Great Job Tamara. I think my daughter would enjoy this and I might just read it with her! :)

There's a fine line between MG and YA these days. I was writing YA and kept being told my voice was more MG...not sure why!
