So, this is going to be my next re-read. I haven't read this in years, and I don't have a review for it because I read it just after I found Goodreads and before I started blogging.
Synopsis:
She was only eleven years old and an orphan, yet the people of Lale's village hated her and drove her into the wilderness. Cast out, she followed her destiny to a place of dark and shadowy purposes, a school for foundling girls in the land of Tamurin. There Lale found affection, sisterhood and a home...and a profession that may cost her everything she loves. Driven by the darkest sorcery, she must conceal the truth of what she truly is...
Book Beginning:
The people of my village cast me out when I was eleven. Or at least I believed I was eleven, for neither I nor anyone in Riversong knew the day or place of my birth, much less who brought me into the world.

For a day and a half we rode across the valley, the mountains looming ever nearer.

She's just too nice to steal anything or really do any harm to anyone if she can avoid it.

This book looks really familiar but I don't remember if I had it in my library or something that looked similar. Are you enjoying it? Hope so. My Friday Quotes

Sounds good. I have been rereading books from before I blogged lately too. This week I am spotlighting Geekerella by Ashley Poston. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of The Assassins of Tamvrin before, but it sounds really good! And it must be if you are re-reading it. Have a great weekend!
