The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley
4.25
adventurous inspiring medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

Absolutely loved this book as a kid and really appreciate it as an adult. The pacing is typical of its era but a bit uneven for modern tastes, and there are a few things that feel superfluous to the character or plot (again, by modern standards) but the character development can't be beat! Aerin is one of my favorite heroines even now.
