Shannon Hale: Book of a Thousand Days


Not the princess who is the heroine, but rather the servant girl! Interesting, and almost Asian (if that is the correct vicinity) feel to this "fairy tale." A "mucker" girl who knows the songs of healing learned from her mother serves a princess who is locked in a tower for seven years because the princess refuses to marry the king her father wishes...
Exciting climax, and a fun ending. Great read!
