Forest Born by Shannon Hale

Shannon Hale. Is. The. Most. Amazing, Author. Ever. Ok, this is the last book in her The Books of Bayern series. This book encapsulates fantasy and a touch of historical  fiction. (if you're looking for romance, read the other books int the series) Well, this is the only book I can read without romance. (Yes, it's that good)

Forest Born starts with a girl named Rin who lives in, surprise, the forest! She is the perfect example of a complete angel of a daughter but has one flaw. People Speaking. Basically, if you didn't read the other books, it's an ability to speak and be obeyed instantly. Rin is not the only person with this ability however, the infamous Selia has it as well, but unlike Rin, she misuses it.
When Rin gets the opportunity to go to the city with her brother, Razo, she starts living a completely new life. She meets the beautiful, kind Queen Isi and her baby son, Tusken.
Rin learns a lot about life just by visiting the city, and it's not soon before danger creeps in.
Can Rin suceed and use her abilities for the best?
Find out in Forest Born by Shannon Hale.

Yes, I know, lovely suspenseful ending I put to that :)
Well, I hope you're the curious type and go on to actually reading the book as well as the rest of her series.
It's wonderful!! Million thumbs up!
