The Rose Legacy by Jessica Day George
5.0
Such a fun, creative story.
I've never read a fantasy which used horses the way this one did. I liked that they were this mythical creature and had the special bond/magical ability with humans.
I enjoyed each member of the cast of characters, especially the more unexpected ones, like the little owl. Anthea had my heart from the first page. She was so clearly an amazing girl overlooked by family members. I loved the relationships she built with her cousin and the king and of course with her long-forgotten horse.
This book has all the things that made me fall in love with Jessica Day George's writing in Dragon Slippers: strong characters, a mythical, beautiful story world, and big adventure. Highly recommended!
