A kingdom beset by monsters…
A disease that weakens and destroys…
An epic poem and a hero of long ago…
A story of danger and desperation.
The two princesses of Bamarre couldn’t be more different. Princess Addie is fearful and shy. Her deepest wish is for safety. Princess Meryl is bold and brave. Her deepest wish is to save the kingdom of Bamarre. They are sisters, and they mean the world to each other.
Then disaster strikes, and Addie–terrified and unprepared–sets out on a perilous quest. In her path are the monsters of Bamarre: ogres, specters, gryphons, and dragons. Addie must battle them, but time is running out, and the sisters’ lives—and Bamarre’s fate—hang in the balance.
In one of my very early post, I listed some of my favorite books. This book was, and still is, on that list! From the first time I read this to the most current, I still am intrigued every time I turn the first page. I mean, monsters, diseases, poems, heroes, dangers, desperation, romance—those few words definitely mean it has to be a good book.
Gail Carson Levine is just an amazing author. I love her books, Ella Enchanted and Ever. They are great. However, I can’t say that this is my favorite out of the three that are mentioned in this blog post. I don’t have a favorite. All of them are absolutely awesome. I really like it that they can be read as young kids or as teenagers. Sure, they may be meant for “tweens,” but they are still awesome or teens.
Just from the cover, I could tell the personalities of the two girls. One is “bold and brave,” while the other is “fearful and shy.” 5 stars to the cover designer and artist.
Even though I haven’t read all of Gail Carson Levine’s books, I know that she is a super good author. I would recommend her as an author. And, I would definitely recommend this book. 5 stars to The Two Princesses of Bamarre.
