River Secrets

RIVER SECRETS: Shannon Hale: Bloomsbury Publishing: Young Adult: 290 pages

Razo-short, funny, and not a great solider-is sure it’s out of pity that his captain asks him to join an elite mission escorting the ambassador into Tira, Bayern’s great enemy. But when the Bayern arrive in the strange southern counry, it’s Razo who discovers the first dead body. He’s the only Bayern able to befriend both the high and low born, the people who can provide information about the ever-increasing murders. And he’s the one who must embrace his own talents in order to get the Bayern soldiers home again, alive.

I really enjoyed the newest book by Shannon Hale! I think part of the reason I have liked it so much is that I have really gotten to know the characters as I have read “Goose Girl” and “Enna Burning”. I just thought that this book was fabulous and I was cheering Razo on the whole time!
