A review by evermore_reads
The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale

5.0

I’ve read this book twice now and loved it each time. Shannon Hale has a beautiful way of writing simple, charming and enchanting stories. I was enamored but my first book of hers, “The Book of a Thousand Days” and enamored by this my Sri me book of hers. Her books have a uniquely readable quality and I look forward to reading the other retelling stories in this series. Also can we talk about how awesome the names in this novel are? My one gripe: much of the middle of the book was slow, painfully slow. I understand that it was a period of time for the main character to grow and learn and this issue of slowness was remedied by a few chase scenes and relationship developments but still I understand if people skip over a few chapters.
