The Goose Girl

3.5

Having just finished the book, I can say that I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It initially reminded me a lot of Ella Enchanted, yet the further into the story I got, I found that it truly stands on its own as an original tale. My favorite components are the characters, who are all vivid and lifelike, and the plot twists, most of which I did not see coming and found quite gripping. At times the story did drag a bit and I found myself losing interest, but on the whole I enjoyed The Goose Girl as a charming young adult fantasy.
