![]() The Forgotten Sisters, book 3, was another fun change in scene as Miri enters a dangerous and wild swamp as a tutor. I love the political idealism in this second book and the focus on not who is right and who is wrong, but who is kind and informed. This is refreshing and I read louder to make sure all the hidden ears heard how to face situations, especially situations that are uncomfortable. There is a love triangle that made my kids hide their heads however, Miri is brave, honest, and loyal to all the boys involved. Palace of Stone, book 2, is my personal favorite, as we follow Miri continuing to mature and develop away from her beloved mountain. Friendship, familial understanding, nature, and home are beautifully portrayed in this novel as well as the liberation of education and knowledge. ![]() ![]() The limited omniscient narrator unfolds a discretely magical world where history is communicated and absorbed into the stone that has chiseled away at the lives of the small neglected mountain village, Mount Eskel. Princess Academy‘s Miri suffers from poverty, feeling misplaced, and feeling unloved in a fierce quarry environment. “History was as hard to hold as a wet fish.” – Palace of Stone, pg. ![]()
