Palace of Stone by Shannon Hale

3.0

Good book, but not as magical as Princess Academy. The story was good but conflicts seemed too easily resolved, especially the romantic conflict.
(Spoiler alert: 1. How convenient that she didn't really have to make a choice in the end and 2. Really, Peder was just that clueless that he "didn't know to ask"?)
All in all, this read like a YA read where PA felt like it spoke to adults as well.
