The Lost Kingdom of Bamarre by Gail Carson Levine
3.0

3.5/5

I love Gail Carson Levine’s books and was so excited to see this “prequel” to The Two Princesses of Bamarre. The Rapunzel-like base to the story was very well done and with a unique spin on the classic tale, in good Levine fashion. The Lakti/Bamarre conflict was intriguing (if a little heavy handed) but it felt like the plot was broadened a bit too much in order to account for the theme. Perry was an intriguing heroine, but it seemed like we hardly ever saw her true personality due to the constant rebukes she encountered from all sides and every single parental figure.
