Goose Girl by Shannon Hale

I read these books about a year ago, and they came highly recommended by several of my friends. Shannon Hale takes little known Grimm's fairy tales and makes them her own. If you like fairy tales and all the magic, romance, and adventure that come with them, then you will probably like these books.



Goose Girl is about a princess named Ani who is betrothed to a man she never met and sent away from home to become a queen of another kingdom. While traveling to her new home, she unveils a plot by those she trusted to get rid of her and take over her new throne. Anyway, this is her story. I thought it was charming and a really easy read. Plus it has a little bit of everything, which I really like in a book. (romance, adventure, drama)




Enna Burning is the sequel to Goose Girl. It is actually about Ani's Friend, Enna, and her battle with her own magical powers that she cannot quite control. It is a little more...intense maybe...than Goose Girl, but I loved it as well.
