Rating: Summary: What a WONDERFULL fantasy tale!!! Review: I wont tale of the plot! Been done allready! But this is such a WONDERFULL tale of fantasy, Gail Carson Levine has a WONDERFULL imagination, at first I wasn't sure if I'd like the book for about the first 30pages, but then it got a kick-start and I was hooked!I COULD NOT put it down! I got hooked on Levine after "Ella Enchanted" and I have read ALL of her books, which though all of them may not be up to par with "The Two Princesses of Bamarre" and "Ella Enchated" they are all wonderfull,great, and enchanting in their own way. I honestly don't know why this author doesn't have the popularity she deserves. Why this tale includes: Two beautifull princesses, one daring and brave and the other shy and a chicken, sorceror's,fairyies,great plot twist, and things that Carson has came up with herself. Everything is described well and comes out like an esquisit painting! It also has an *AWESOME* battle scene torwards the end! This is a MUST FOR ANY fantasy fan!God Bless ~Amy *Enjoy*

However, when Meryl is struck with the dreaded sickness, the Grey Death, it is Addie who must go questing for a cure, to save her sister.

Rating: Summary: Charming but the ending was lackluster Review: Addie and Meryl were interesting characters, though I have to say I liked Addie much better from the beginning, and Rhys was an interesting character. Levine's sense of humour comes out in this nicely, as in the case of Addie trying to operate Seven League Boots. The Gray Death was an interesting disease, and I thought the progression of it to be original. I also enjoyed the dragon's character. I had two real problems with the novel. First, Rhys' magic seemed too convenient some of the time, and when it was absent, the absence, too, seemed rather contrived. Second, the ending was the quintessential deus ex machina ending. It honestly didn't surprise me, but it certainly didn't delight me. _Ella Enchanted_ was a far better novel, and a better place to start reading Levine. After that, move on to this book. On a side note, once you've spent time with Levine's Ella, you might want to try _Just Ella_ by Margaret Peterson Haddix.
Rating: Summary: The Two Princesses Of Bamarre Review: I think this is the best book in the world!!! My teacher read it to my class and now I am reading myself!! I would rate this book 2,000,000 stars and I am not kidding!! I love it and I encourage you to read it!! I liked it so much because of all the monsters and the idea of a princess fighting the monsters.
