This book is so special and close to my heart. I first read this when I was 9, and I've reread it often since then. I love the world of this book, with the Gray Death and fairies and the Drualt tale. The writing is so beautiful but simple, and feels like an old fairy tale in the way the story is told and the symbolism and lessons. Gail Carson Levine is good at making characters both relatable and otherworldly, and at telling these kinds of stories. I love Addie and Meryl's relationship, and Addie's stubbornness overcoming her fears because of her love for Meryl. I also love that there's relatively few characters in this - it makes the sisters and Rhys and Vollys stand out so much more. I just love this story so much!
