bisexualwentworth 's review for:

The Two Princesses of Bamarre by Gail Carson Levine
3.0
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Unfortunately much worse upon a reread as an adult. The romantic relationships in this book are very questionable and I wonder why Levine made any of those choices because they were entirely avoidable. Addie also feels extremely juvenile for the first chunk of the book (more so than makes sense for her character), which REALLY doesn't help with the eventual romance. Lots of great scenes, though, and an easy and fun read.
