The Lost Kingdom of Bamarre (The Two Princesses of Bamarre #0) 
This one has a very different feel than Levine's previous books. Lost Kingdom is a lot more violent and grim, whereas the danger in her other books is balanced by warmth and magic. I sometimes wanted to stop reading to avoid the grimness. Nonetheless, I enjoyed watching Perry change her view of the Bamarre and try to emulate their culture. I also deeply relate to her need to please those close to her, and I loved references to Two Princesses of Bamarre: Drault as a child, the seven league boots,
THE TWO PRINCESSES OF BAMARRE ISN'T JUST MY FAVORITE GCL BOOK, IT IS ALSO ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS *EVER*. THE FACT THAT I HAVE ANOTHER BAMARRE BOOK IN MY HANDS IS JUST THE BEST FEELING. SORRY FOR THE ALL CAPS. I JUST HAVE ZERO CHILL AT THE MOMENT.

This book was so good. I really liked it and the ending makes you feel happy inside. I love the character of Perry and her character and Willem and Lady Mother and Drualt are all so awesome! This books makes you feel happy, sad, mad, joyful, and just leaves you with hope and goodness for the Bamarre. Great read for any fairy tale or fantasy lover! :D

What is it about Gail Carson Levine's writing that is so enjoyable? I don't know. But I always love her novels, despite the fact that there's not much particularly special about this one. I can't help but compare this to masterpieces like Fairest, Ella Enchanted, andThe Two Princesses of Bamarre. I have to admit, I'm not sure it holds up. It's good, but there's nothing setting it apart. Of course, I should be fair: some of that disappointment comes from my nostalgia. The Lost Kingdom of Bamarre

In this compelling and thought-provoking fantasy set in the world of The Two Princesses of Bamarre, Newbery Honor-winning author Gail Carson Levine introduces a spirited heroine who must overcome deeply rooted prejudice—including her own—to heal her broken country. Peregrine strives to be the Latki ideal—and to impress her parents: affectionate Lord Tove, who despises only the Bamarre, and stern Lady Klausine. Perry runs the fastest, speaks her mind, and doesn’t give much thought to the castle’s Bamarre servants, who she knows to be weak and cowardly. The Lakti always wage war, and the battlefield will give her the chance to show her valor. But just as she’s about to join her father on the front lines, she is visited by the fairy Halina, who reveals that Perry isn’t Latki-born. She is a Bamarre. The fairy issues a daunting challenge: against the Lakti might, free her people from tyranny.Present Out Of Books The Lost Kingdom of Bamarre (The Two Princesses of Bamarre #0)

Gail Carson Levine is one of my favorite fantasy writers. I was riveted to this story from page 1. I loved the character of Lady Mother, even though she stole the Bamarre children. The other characters were well developed as well. Just enough magic to keep it hopeful, and a bit of humor thrown in as well, I was cheering for Perry and wondering how she would overcome her troubles. It played out very well, was exciting, and not anticipated.This one has a very different feel than Levine's previous books.
