Also, I didn't guess the surprise, so I don't know if it was especially skillfully hidden or I'm just not as perceptive as a middle-grader, but I enjoyed that. The writing is wonderful and evocative and there's so much depth to the story. (The first Princess Academy, which won the Newbery, came out during the dark times between when I was a kid and when I started reading kid it again as an adult.) But I've come to understand that I was really missing out.
Review 2: I had never read a Shannon Hale book before I started working at Bloomsbury. This conclusion to the Princess Academy series is strong it includes all the elements readers have come to expect from stories featuring Mirihumor, friendship, cleverness, and funwhile also managing to throw in a. However, I was pleasantly surprised that this book maintained the sweetness of the other books while giving more insight and depth into the story. In The Forgotten Sisters, Shannon Hale demonstrates once again that upper middle grade/young adult may be her strongest area.
I love Shannon Hale but I'm always skeptical when there are several books in a series that feels like it would have been fine with just the first one. The Forgotten Sisters Princess Academy (Series) Shannon Hale Author (2023) Princess Academy Princess Academy (Series). It started out a little slow but turned into a very endearing, heartfelt story that brought tears to my eyes by the end.
