Wow, I dont know how to even start! The story really makes me sad. I truely think that the king and queen were very in to themselves, leaving their poor daughter out of their lives. The queen was especially into her self and extremely vain. After Lissar's so called mother died, she did not care very much...can you blame her? Her father, the king, is a disgusting human being. For you to think it is ok to rape your daughter and then want to marry her is absurd!!!! I thought when the rape was happening that her dog, Ash, was dead for sure. Thank goodness they both survived and left that situation right away. To be honest, after the announcment of the father wanting to marry her and threatening to kill her dog in 3 days, I would have left immediately after that! I am having a hard time understanding how she can completely not remember anything about herself. I felt soo bad that they both were so badly injured and had to walk for so long and fend for themselves. I was glad when Ash led them in the direction of the small, abandoned hut/cabin. I was amazed that they both survived on what they had in that hut. Old, moldy food and a fire. I am a bit confused buy the lady that gave them the gift of time and cleaned/healed them both up. Who is she?? I am now at the part of the book when she is in the yellow city and I believe is about to meet Ossin... dun dun dun.... I am excited to see what happens next.

The whole first part of the book was crazy!! I agree and no we can't blame her really for her mom, considering everything that she had lived through. Her dad, really?! What can we say about him that is not completely obvious.
ReplyDeleteWith Ash almost dying, I thought her dog was almost dead too! I felt horrible but, it kept me reading so I'm assuming it did the job.
With her not leaving right away, I guess we can't really blame her though, or I wouldn't have questioned it. She went through her mother dying, her dad's abuse and rape and then her dog almost dying. She was scared and I'm sure very confused. Wouldn't you be? I don't think anyone would really know the necessary actions of what to do in that situation. Think in her shoes, you know? It's crazy to rap your head around!!
With her walking that long distance, it was hard for me to actually believe it was even possible, although it is a fairy tale!! I have to keep reminding myself that.
With the lady... I was confused in her too. I didn't pickup on any background information. Where did she come from? How did she find her? Or even, could she be related to a fairy godmother and only JUST be hers? Or is it for every young girl that needs help. I hope our curiosity is answered in the book soon! I'm excited to keep reading.
