The kingdom of Bellandra is a peaceful nation full of art and beauty, that is until Torina's greedy father invades it, killing the king and seizing the prince as a slave for his daughter. Torina refuses to keep Landen as a slave, and starts a friendship that will save both of their lives.
The good stuff: Landen and Torina a firmly committed to peace, but also realize that life doesn't always allow it. They know just how to bend without breaking. They realise that even though good should always win, it doesn't, and rather than making them bitter, they pursue justice all the more.
The not so hot stuff: I can't think of anything.
What I like about it: This is one of my favorites because it isn't ponderous to read, and yet if fully conveys the depth of feeling that makes it good. Sometimes I want to read a really good book, without having the plot drag me down, and this is the perfect book for that!
