Book Awards Reading Challenge

Another Robin McKinley book that I just loved! I've been wanting to read this one for quite awhile. It's a prequel to The Blue Sword, which I read awhile book. This one is about Aerin, who lives with her father, the king of Damar. She has lots of questions about her mother and the circumstances of her birth, which no one seems to want to answer. She doesn’t really fit in with her father’s household and everyone looks at her as if she is an imposter. Meanwhile, in order to find her place, she learns how to fight dragons, which plague the people now and then. Eventually, she wins the heart of her people by.... well.... you’ll have to read the book for that part!
