This week I chose:
"Wisdom's Kiss"
by Catherine Gilbert Murdock
Houghton Mifflin
Release Date: Sep 12, 2011
The following description is from goodreads.com:
Princess Wisdom, known as Dizzy, longs for a life of adventure far beyond the staid old kingdom of Montagne.
Tips, a soldier, longs to keep his true life secret from his family.
Fortitude, an orphaned maid, longs only for Tips.
These three passionate souls might just attain their dreams while preserving Montagne from certain destruction, if only they can tolerate each other long enough to come up with a plan. Tough to save the world when you can't even be in the same room together.
Magic, cunning, and one very special cat join forces in this hilarious, extraordinary tale by the author of Dairy Queen and Princess Ben. An incredibly creative tale told with diaries, memoirs, encyclopedia entries, letters, biographies, even a stage play, all woven together into a grand adventure.
This sounds like such a fun mix of historical, fantasy, and romance! All of my favorite things!

ReplyDeleteI actually just finished this book. The story was really, really interesting. The writing was difficult to follow though because it's written from eight different point of views. But if you've got time to pay attention and riddle it out, it's a great book.
