This was a very interesting read. I am all about kick butt heroines and this one had two strong leads. This is pure fantasy! I hear tale that another one is being published and I am ready for it. Very suitable for YA and I love the lost king tale. I think I liked it a little better than Hunger Games.

This is a great book and a wonderful addition to the ya fantasy market. Henrietta is a tough cookie and a delightful character, but what is really great about this book is the way she develops as a person through the story. A nice cast of supporting characters too, all growing as the story progresses. The interactions between them are very well done. Definitely one to read if you like this genre. The story is refreshingly different to a lot of others around too.
