The Unfairest of Them All by Shannon Hale

4.0

I really like this series, and I think one of the things I like most is the fact that neither group - the rebels and the royals - is villified unlike so many school based books. There's no bitchy popular group who gets their comeuppance with the noble suffering nerds winning in the end - just different groups wanting different things, but whose motivations still make sense. It's nice not to have girls pitted against each other for once. Also I just love how Shannon Hale writes her characters, they remind me a little of Tamora Pierce's although I'm not sure why.
