3.5 stars. Classic fantasy, a delightful coming-of-age tale, if a bit predictable, gently-paced and a veritable page-turner!I supposed one brought to the table whatever traits one had, and then did the best one could to grow into the role one was given.
I first read this book many years ago, when I didn’t write reviews and neither GR nor BL existed. In fact, it was so long ago, I didn’t remember anything about the book except that it was sitting on my shelf, reminding me of pleasures gone by. This reading felt as fresh as if it was a new book.

I probably read this one two years ago? I liked it. It definitely as some more adult issues and themes. More complex in its socio-political content. Older teens. 2.5 - 3
Aww... it made me cry. It did. (In the happy way.) A completely sweet fairytale romance with castles and royalty and wise healer women and brave guards and good-natured tavern keepers and villagers and all that good stuff, along with a dosage of politics, intrigue, injustice, cruelty and illegitimac...
