A review by dmknott
Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale
5.0
"That was a damn good YA novel." -Me, upon immediate completion of this book. For the record, I read this in about 5-6 hours over the course of a day.
This is an easy read but somehow still delves into themes of loyalty, healing, loneliness, and compassion. It explores class differences and how wealth/nobility isn't a 1:1 relation to happiness. The novel technically qualifies as a romance, but this book is really much more about friendship.
One other thing: This book reminded me a LOT of Fairest by Gail Carson Levine, so if you enjoyed that one, you're bound to love this one.
