May Bird

I got this set of books for my grand daughter (13) and she liked them very much.

A bittersweet ending to a wonderful trilogy

In truth, the ending is more sweet than bitter but you'll want to have the tissues nearby in any case. The final book in the trilogy brings the series to a wholly satisfying conclusion. It even includes some wonderful and surprising twists, but all loose ends are tied up in the end. Characters will be reunited and sacrifices will be made. But as with the previous books, it's more than a great story. Warrior Princess leaves you with a full heart and keeps you thinking long after the last page, pondering all the wonderful possibilities of the universe. I'd say more but writing about the book makes my eyes all blurry. All I want to do is reread the trilogy from creepy start to beautiful finish.

Another winner!

This is the 3rd book in the May Bird series. I found it to be just as wonderful as the first 2. Once I picked it up, I could not put it down. It picks up where the 2nd book left off and concludes May Bird's adventures. I don't want to give any details of the story (it would ruin it for those on books 1 & 2). It is (as with the other two books) most highly recommended.

A Great Series!!

If you haven't read May Bird then you need to! Books 1 and 2 are just as great as book 3!! I can't put it down! I read these aloud to my students at school and they love them! A definte must read!

A Satisfying (Although Maybe Predictable) Conclusion

For anyone who has read the first two May Bird books, Warrior Princess brings the tale full circle in an extremely delightful read. The initial pacing is a little bit rushed and choppy, but the tale itself coupled with the author's knack for perfectly describing the characters and situations in the Ever After is not disappointing. Now we just need Tim Burton to do the movie!
