my thoughts
Before reading this book, I recommend picking up a Kindle copy of the prequel, The Vow: A novella
I am a big fan of Jody Hedlund’s historical fiction and I am very pleased with this YA series, as well! First of all the cover is absolutely beautiful and makes me want to go visit an old castle and wear long medieval gowns. The kid in me relished the fairy tale style and the way the font changed with each point of view shift cleverly kept the identity of the hero hidden at first.
In my opinion, Rosemarie is a delightfully innocent heroine and her knight in shining armor is truly valiant and chivalrous. The mystery was tempered with humor and youthful attraction. My middle-grade daughter also read The Vow and An Uncertain Choice and she loved them! The thought-provoking questions at the end of the book are the cherry on top for encouraging discussion on important issues.
I borrowed this title from my local library. The opinions expressed are my own.
