Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale

4.0

To me, this book exemplifies Shannon Hale's strength: masterfully reworking traditional fairy tales. I liked the "flavor" of the story because it is set in Asia and lacks most of the stereotypical prince-and-princess elements in most European fairy tales. I'm always looking for good books containing strong, grounded female characters for my teenage daughter to read, and this definitely fills that need and then some!
