So, my friend Ashlynn introduced me to this book, and believe me, it is well worth your time. Ignoring series, this is my FAVORITE book. It's got dragons, magic, evil uncles, illegitimate heirs, all that good stuff. So go read it!!! Very Happy

Just be warned, it's a bit confusing right at the first. Don't be discouraged by it. Oh, and just about everything else by Robin McKinley is absolutely wonderful. Especially Spindle's End and Beauty. They are both retellings of traditional fairy tales, but have some unexpected twists. Don't underestimate them just because they're retellings, K?

You know actually I do?

ANYWAY! The hero and the crown...sounds kinda predictable, if you know what I mean.

I love it (and Talat! Best fictional horse EVAR)

But I think I like the Blue Sword better...

Topaz and Kiki are cool too. And loads of other horses I could mention. But yes, Talat kicks butt. Smile I just borrowed Rose Daughter from the library. Anyone read that? Is it good?

I remember liking Beauty quite a lot. But *sigh* my mom seems to have lost it. Sad

Talat rocks my world! But not quite as much as Luthe does. HEE!!! Very Happy
