This is one of my all-time favorite books and has been since middle school. It’s the story of a young queen bringing literacy back to her kingdom despite the push back she receives from all angles. There are multiple over-arching mysteries to be solved and the plot develops like no other book I’ve read. The characters have so many pieces to them that I feel are unique and purposeful.
