This starts out in typical medieval fantasy fashion. Young girl grows up in extreme poverty, disaster strikes and she loses what little she had, nearly dies, is rescued, finds a new found talent and uses it to rescue her people. Even though it's not a fresh idea, the story is pleasant to read. Emmeline is the damsel in distress and Owen is her longed for love. And there is the typical ruthless bad guy (or bad queen in this case) who will stop at nothing to get what she wants.
It was an average fantasy story with romance weaved in. I enjoyed it while I was reading it, but probably won't pick it up again.
Recommend: Sure.
Young adult fiction, fantasy, magic, evil queen.
