I just had to read the fourth book in the series The Books of Bayern by Shannon Hale titled "Forest Born". It leads you a dance with hints here and there of what is happening with Rin, sister of Razo. She is desperate to leave her forest as she is sure something is very wrong with her and the trees, which have always been her comfort, have turned against her. She accompanies her brother back to live in the palace hoping to find peace from her problems. Before she knows it Rin is swept up in an adventure with The Fire Sisters (as she calls Queen Isi, Enna and Lady Dasha) to the land of Kel where an old nemesis wants them all dead. Rin manages to finally understand her gifts and uses them in dealing with the mystery that encompasses them. Shannon Hale is a beautifully poetic writer - her books let us enter this imaginary world where evil and romance dwell side by sideWhat are you reading today?

Thanks, Carmen, for your comment. I too liked Rin but I worried about her throughout the whole book and really wanted her to find the inner peace she deserved.
