Magical!
This is one of my favorite fairytale books ever! Even though it does not pass Ella Enchanted on my chart it is very closely following. It is a very sweet tale, a bit sad in parts , and heart racing in others. None of Shannon Hales books are even half as good as this one! Princess Academy is the only other book in Shannon Hale's novels that I would suggest. The other books have suggestive content. I think girls who love farytales will love this book ! - I suggest ages 12 and up...

Great Use of the English Language!
I read this book for an English class once and it did not disappoint. Hale writes with a unique richness and utilizes the English language with such skill and aplomb and uses words that fit meaning and make the reader enjoy the sounds that the language has to offer. Her use of simple similes and metaphors tops of this ice cream sundae. Not only is the language beautiful, but Hale creates a great tale that emphasizes themes of love, friendship, the essence of a human, and secretly shows us the "real" meaning of social class. The twists and turns come at the perfect time and Hale makes you ask for more. Definitely a great read no matter who you are!

I absloutely adore this series!
Shannon Hale is an awesome writer. I've read all her books, and I have to say, this series is the best thing ever! I despise all the paranormal romance junk that clutters up the bookshelves today, and this series is great. It has sweet romances, and it's not inappropriate at all, and there's no deep, incredibly boring junk either. It's fast paced, and I promise you, it's so worth buying. I've read and reread it at least four times in the past few months! I would reccommend this series for any girl who likes strong willed girls fending for themselves, and falling in love. :)

Shannon Hale's books are the best books i have ever read, i can read them over and over again without getting bored or tired of it. I love how she describes everything so well, it is like a movie that is playing in my mind. In Shannon's books, I like to put myself into the characters position and try to feel exactly how they feel. I just wanted to thank Shannon for being an author and writing wonderful books.

I loved it!
I loved it so much! It was full of suspense, adventure, and romance. Those are the main traits I look for in books. I couldn't put the book down. I really loved how Shannon Hale put it in Ani's point of view because you can see what's really happening in the book like you're really there!There're also parts when her maid and other servants betrayed her which I really hate, but i'm glad Ani handled it well! I am so sad for her horse though, but atleast she got her happy ending. Plus, her talent of controlling wind is very useful. Shannon Hale is a great author, she si one of my ultimate favorite authors. I also read the sequels of Goose Girl. I give this book a thumbs up!

I LOVE this book!
This is a version of the fairy tale, "the goose girl". Personally, however, I think Shannon Hale does a better job with the storytelling. There are four books in the series: The Goose Girl, Enna Burning, River Secrets, and Forest Born. All 4 are wonderful, though I like The Goose girl and Forest Born the best. I would deffinetly reccomend this series to anyone and everyone, especially because they are so easy to relate to.

Like no other fantasy, well written, fun read!
The magic and mythology in this fantasy world are refreshingly original and interesting. The story, although somewhat predictable, is fun and heartwarming.

This is one of the best books I'v ever read. The author portrays so much emotion. Parts of it made me laugh, cry, and even gasp out loud. It was very well told. I would most definately recommend this to anyone, as well as any other book by Shannon Hale. :D

I've read this book probably 50 times. And every single time I fall even more in love with the characters. Isi the strong, not so delicate one. Enna the ballsy one. Finn the quiet and sweet one. I just want to reach into the book and talk to them. They seem so real. There emotions become your emotions and the way they feel and think make you wonder why the heck are they outcasted. The story also tells a story of stuff that happens nowadays, how we leave out people who are different. It's and amazing story and a must read for any book luvr!:)
