All I knew at the start was that there would be a white bear who was under some sort of enchantment and a girl who goes with him to a magical home. I admit that I am not terribly familiar with the tale that this was based on - East of the Sun and West of the Moon. I would recommend this title to fans of the original and to people who love stories with a fairy tale feel. I was a bit surprised by some of the choices the writer made, but it's fun to read a book that isn't predictable. It was enjoyable seeing the story from different points of view. The author did a great job giving each character their own voice and personality. I'm an adult and I rarely read books written for teenagers, but this one held my interest. Although the author kept the spirit and skeleton of the story, she gave the tale her own unique spin. I loved the "original" story of East of the Sun, West of the Moon when I was a little girl.

Two protagonists have been genetically engineered and enhanced by their creators with special powers as part of conflicting plans for world domination. As her bodyguard says, "In a battle, it's the only thing that's true. Violent death, abduction, imprisonment, torture, biological warfare, and weapons are part of the landscape, and and Sophie contemplates the fact that there's a villain she has to kill. Just about all the characters have survived a whole lot of physical, mental, and emotional battering over the previous 8.5 volumes, which has helped define their characters and shape their mental conflicts. 5/30/2023 0 Comments The chronicles of prydainStory deals with the same questions as theology, philosophy, psychology.

This ebook isn’t about whether you should get a Cane Corso. They are what most frequently come between the sort of life a Cane Corso owner wants for their dog and ultimately a much less satisfying version.
