Eskel, the setting of Princess Academy - a simplicity echoed in the clarity of the prose and the brevity of the songs which open each chapter. Part of that magic stemmed from the isolation and simplicity of life on Mt. Disappoints, because Palace of Stone never quite captures the magic of its predecessor. Satisfies, because it carries the story further, and in an unexpected direction, without violating the reader’s hopes and dreams for Miri, the main character. Palace of Stone satisfies and disappoints at the same time. So I was both excited and apprehensive when I heard that Hale had finally, after seven years, returned to Danland for a sequel.īoth feelings were justified. There is something special about the book, a resonance which stayed with me long after I finished reading it. I love Shannon Hale’s Princess Academy, as much for it folk-tale feel as for its fresh and original story. Picking up where Princess Academy left off, this incredible stand-alone story celebrates the joys of friendship, the delight of romance, and the fate of a beloved fairy tale kingdom.

Soon Miri finds herself torn between loyalty to the princess and her new friends' ideas, between an old love and a new crush, and between her small mountain home and the bustling city. They think that Miri will help them, that she 'should 'help them.

until she learns that they have some frightening plans. There, Miri befriends students who seem so sophisticated and exciting. When Miri and her friends from Mount Eskel set off to help the future princess Britta prepare for her royal wedding, she is happy about her chance to attend school in the capital city.
