May Bird, Warrior Princess by Jodi Lynn Anderson

5.0

Oh my good God. I remember buying May Bird and the Ever After when I was 11. I loved it to tears (literally) and lent to my two best friends at the time, in succession, and we were all hooked. Being in the frenzy that I was, I found May Bird Among the Stars soon after and adored it just as much as I did the fist. The ending seemed so subtle, so complete in it's questions and answers left unsolved, that I didn't question my inner self telling me that it was just a two book sort of deal. So imagine my surprise when, years later I discover that this whole time, there was a goddamn THIRD BOOK! I was in shock, then began a frantic search for it. Seeing as how it had been out for some time, it was never in any of the sections I look in at book stores. But I happened upon it online, bought it, read it, and promptly died and went to the Ever After. I LOVED this book! I thought Among the Stars was good? No. This book defines closure. There was opening for imagination, there was heart wrenching tears, shock, surprise, God don't even get me started on Pumpkin. It was well worth the wait, no matter how much I wish I could have read it sooner.
