The 10th Kingdom by Kathryn Wesley
My review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
I was torn between 4 and 5 stars for this book, but the fact that I am pretty rabid to get my grabby hands on the mini series not to mention make icons pushes me over the edge.
Your standard normal girl finds herself thrown into a not-so-normal world and finds out that she is possibly more than the nobody she thought. Or something like that. ;)
The humor really endeared it to me as well.
A friend (Juushika) had mentioned this book on her journal, and quoted the same quote I am going to site below. It was one of the things that lead me to pick this up at the library when I saw it.
Snow White musing why she didn't just avoid the Queen after the first two attempts on her life -- "Why did I let her in? Didn't I know she was bad? I did. Of course I did. But I also knew that I couldn't keep the door closed all my life just because it was dangerous. Just because there was a chance that I might get hurt."
That intrigued me, and Virginia delivered as a heroine who wasn't disappointing in the least. Her father and the trolls I could do without. haha. Wolf as the super flawed 'hero' was also perfection in imperfection, and I was often laughing at his inner monologue.
Not to mention: Virginia & Wolf are adorable. Amirite?
Now to find the mini series to watch...
