I really enjoyed reading Alyrra's story which follows her as she
grows in confidence and learns to trust in the courage of her
convictions.

"This is how you survive: one breath to the next, refusing each
thought as it comes to you. This is how you get through the worst
of things." Khanani's retelling of "The Goose Girl" keeps the
basics of the fairytale the same (a princess is sent to a kingdom
to marry a prince but is betrayed and looses her title) but expands
the story to include examinations of violence and its effects on
main characters. It could be easy to dismiss Alyrra as just a weak
and passive princess, but Khanani smartly delves into the realistic
reactions and responses a person would have to trauma.
