It’s a nice middle grade fantasy book :) I read it for the first time as an adult and I definitely would’ve enjoyed it as a kid

This is one of my favorite books. The characters are written with nuance and personality, flaws and growth, relationships and history. Quarry speech is really fun and interesting, and I love that Miri finds a purpose that’s truly hers. :)

For fans of Ella Enchanted, this novel wraps you in a warm embrace of the mountainous city of Eskel. Miri, a young woman from the village, learns over the course of the book where her heart truly lies. It is a wonderful story I plan on reading again.

Another book that's rather difficult to rate. Miri, the daughter of miners, attends the Princess Academy, where the Prince will chose his bride after the ball that ends the school year. There, she learns all about life beyond the mines, and uses that knowledge to improve her family and her community.
It's hard to rate because it doesn't end the way I expected it to end, and I'm not sure if I like how it ends.
