Book: The Two Princesses of Bamarre
Author: Gail Carson Levine
Category: Fiction, YA Fantasy
Two sisters live in a kingdom haunted by monsters and a plague. One of them is a brave princess aching to go on an adventure to slay monsters and find a cure to the Gray Death, which claimed the life of their mother. The other princess is timid, scared, and wishing to be protected. When the Gray Death struck again, it was Addie who had to step out of the comfort of their castle to battle with ogres, specters, and dragons to save her sister Meryl - and their kingdom.
Review: Unlike many Gail Carson Levine books that I've read, I think this is one of the few that wasn't a retelling of a fairy tale. But, like most of the other books I've read, this is another winner from Ms Levine. Beautiful plot, strong characters, unexpected twists, and an amazing world. Definitely the kind of stuff that made me fall in love with reading and writing.
