Child of the Prophecy (The Sevenwaters Trilogy, Book 3) 70 reviews Juliet Marillier
Tor Books, 2003

i havent read this book in a while, but i have read it about 3 or 4 times! i loved the way the story moved and the way ms. napoli wrote it. what i'm remembering right now is that it kept me crying for a good while. i also recommend "Beast" by Napoli as well.

Spindle's End 142 reviews Robin McKinley
Ace, 2001
A truly enjoyable read
+ Great Book
Definitely not your everyday retelling of Sleeping Beauty. Our heroine (perhaps I should say 'heroines') is not quite what one would expect.
Rosie (the princess) is not particularly 'beautiful' as she grows up a plain village maiden who prefers being a 'horse leech' and hanging around the ...

Pig Tale 16 reviews Verlyn Flieger
Hyperion, 2002
It's different
I really liked this book. But because of the detail. I think that the main reason why a lot of people are saying it's dark is because of the rape. I think that she gets inside the characters head. Each of them. I mean this is life. This is what happens. A lot of books just dab over things. I mean ...
