Relation Supposing Books Book of a Thousand Days
When Dashti, a maid, and Lady Saren, her mistress, are shut in a tower for seven years because of Saren's refusal to marry a man she despises, the two prepare for a very long and dark imprisonment.As food runs low and the days go from broiling hot to freezing cold, it is all Dashti can do to keep them fed and comfortable. With the arrival outside the tower of Saren's two suitors--one welcome, the other decidedly less so--the girls are confronted with both hope and great danger, and Dashti must make the desperate choices of a girl whose life is worth more than she knows.
With Shannon Hale's lyrical language, this little-known classic fairy tale from the Brothers Grimm is reimagined and reset on the central Asian steppes; it is a completely unique retelling filled with adventure and romance, drama and disguise.

I have mixed feelings on this book. Shannon Hale is one of my most favorite authors, so I had huge expectations for this book. Pros: The culture was really interesting, with the gods, lords, class, setting, etc. The ending was also very good!!! It surprised me!!! Cons: There were several inappropriate parts in the book, which didnt need to be added AT ALL. The story wouldve been much better without it. I also found the book to be very slow. It took a while for the book to go anywhere. Not myI loved this book so much! But the book is more than a thousand pages so you know. I like the characters and the character development. I loved the love relationship and how brave the protagonist is. She truly is looked upon by the gods! I cannot wait to read more of Shannon Hale books.❤❤❤😍
A true heroine rises from the Grimm Brother ashes.Hale has created a female character worthy to be loved and adored for a long time to come. She is filled with guts, heart, and soul. This is a tale of imprisonment, courage, love, romance, fantasy, and one spectacular protagonist.This is a tale of the silenced being given a voice, of the oppressed fighting their way out of darkness, so they can feel the burn of the sun of life on their skin once again.It is a tale about the power and magic of

July 30-31, 2009Ummm... So I started this book at 2:00 am. (Note to self: don't start books at 2:00 am! Are you crazy???) Yeah, I couldn't put it down! I finished at about 7:00. Then my husband woke me up at noon! How rude! Doesn't he realize that reading makes me nocturnal? ;)Anyway, I started the book, and was like, "Why is this written from the lady's maid's point of view and not from the lady's point of view. Yeah, that becomes very clear within just a few pages. I really loved Dashtishe was
Sigh. I really, really wanted to love this book because I love Shannon Hale and all my Goodreads friends have given it 5 or 4 stars but... I just didn't. I didn't like Dashti or Saren. Really, I HATED Saren. More often than not I wanted to beat her head against a rock. She's stupid, annoying, and a terrible person. Dashti, the narrator, wasn't much better. While people who like the book would probably say that she's just fiercely loyal, I found her to be kind of an idiot. I think I would've
Fifteen-year-old Dashti, sworn to obey her sixteen-year-old mistress, the Lady Saren, shares Saren's years of punishment locked in a tower, then brings her safely to the lands of her true love, where both must hide who they are as they work as kitchen maids.My copy is coming in a couple of days and I just can't wait!! I loved The Princess Academy and The Goose Girl!! I am sure this will be just as good! Both covers are so good, but I guess mine is more suitable. This book is based on the
2nd Read Review:I really enjoyed this book, but there were several things I didnt enjoy so much about it. -Romance: some kissing, touching (not in a bad way), smelling, etc. nothing bad here. I actually enjoyed the scenes with romance in them.-Language: no bad language!!-Violence: definitely some violence , would recommend book for ages 13+There was a pretty bad scene where Dashti goes out onto the battlefield and does something very bad. I really had a problem with this, and I did not enjoy it.
