"Ani, Crown Princess of Kildenree, has spent her childhood learning the language of the birds. But though Ani can speak to animals, she is never quite comfortable speaking with people. So when Ani's silver-tongued lady-in-waiting leads a mutiny during her journey to marry a prince in a foreign land, Ani cannot persuade anyone to help her. She becomes a goose girl and must use her own special powers to fulfill her true destiny.
Shannon Hale's Books of Bayern have become beloved, perennial favorites, finding more and more readers every year since they were published over a decade ago. Now with fresh new covers, the fantastical, romantic, and gorgeously written series that first introduced Hale as a master storyteller is prime to be discovered by the whole new generation."
My Rating:1.5/5
This book just wasn't for me. I stuck through the book trying to figure out if it was something I could get behind. But this one wasn't it for me. It read more as a middle grade with young adult violence. But this wasn't it for me. Maybe it was the audiobook, maybe it was the way the story itself was told. But it just is kinda bland for me. If you like retellings and love traditional fairy tales mixed with fantasy this might be for you. It just wasn't for me.
Thanks for reading,,
