The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley

4.0

I think I preferred this book to it's predecessor, The Hero and the Crown. They are both wonderful though featuring fantastic heroines and an intriguing culture of people. The Damarian landscape that's portrayed is realistic and makes me wish it was somewhere I could go visit. The whole time I'm reading the book I kept wishing that I could learn to ride horses and sword fight and just experience life in the realistic seeming way that they do. The characters were all relatable with their positive attributes as well as their flaws but even so, I found that I liked them even more for the flawed aspects.

This has and I think always will be one of my favourite fantasy couples.
