The Hero and the Crown

Summary: The very Peak of Perfection!
Review: Splendid high fantasy... filled with tender moments, good characters, satisfying action and sparkling dialogue... superb

The characters are extremely lovable and the landscape is so vividly described (although not in the sense of devoting too many words to it) that it comes alive.

Aerin as a princess who determines her own destiny and seeks out to fight the dragon and even invents a recipe for "fire repellent" is absolutely brilliant.

If you like adventurous & gutsy heroines who aren't too tough for romance, then this book is for you.

Summary: All time favorite
Review: I reread this book at least once a year, and have been doing so since I checked it out of the library at age 8 almost 20 years ago. A timeless classic, a masterwork of writing, inspiring and sweeping, a story to cherish.

Summary: The Hero and the Crown
Review: This is one of the best and most enjoyable books I have ever read. My niece Lynnie gave it to me because I had run out of reading media.I am ever so grateful she lent me her Robin McKinley collection. I don't think i have so enamored of an authors storytelling besides Anne Mccaffrey, Andre Norton, and George R.R. Martin.
This 2 book series has an equally great read in "The Blue Sword". I would recommend them to anyone.
