Crown Princess Ani is not like other children. She enjoys spending time outside and speaking with geese, but she cannot seem to understand people. Although she tries, Ani is never comfortable dealing with her future subjects. But after the death of her father, she finds out that she is to be married off as part of a treaty. Unfortunately, the trip is long and not all of her protectors are loyal. When Ani winds up alone, she must learn to use her unique gifts in order to appreciate her talents and reclaim her birthright.
This is a great retelling of The Goose Girl. I really enjoyed the characters and the story which uses some really beautiful language. It was a little hard to get into, but it was worth working through the slow parts. I'd definitely recommend this book to fantasy readers, especially fans of fairy tale retellings.
- If this book sounds interesting, consider these: Princess Ben, Spirit Fox, Midnight Pearls, or The Two Princesses of Bamarre
