BOOK OF A THOUSAND DAYS: Shannon Hale: Bloomsbury: Young Adult: 306 pagesWhen Dashti, a maid, and Lady Saren, her mistress, are shut in a tower for seven years for Saren’s refusal to marry a man she despises, the two prepare for a very long and dark imprisonment.
As food runs low and the days go from broiling hot to freezing cold, it is all Dashti can do to keep them fed and comfortable. But the arrival outside the tower of Saren’s two suitors—one welcome, and the other decidedly less so—brings both hope and great danger, and Dashti must make the desperate choices of a girl whose life is worth more than she knows.
I loved this book! I really enjoy the way Shannon Hale tells stories. This book is loosely based on the Grimm Fairy Tale “Maid Maleen” and was just delightful. I loved how the characters developed and how the adventure continued up to the very last page. I would recommend this book to anyone!
