About this deal

Miri once again leaves Mount Eskel, this time traveling to Asland, the capital city of Danland. There, she is reunited with her best friend Britta, the princess-to-be. Peder also comes along, as he has been offered an apprenticeship with a stone carver in Asland. Upon arrival, they witness an attempt on the king's life by a man representing "the shoeless." Katar, now Mount Eskel's delegate, asks Miri to investigate into this revolution that the shoeless have begun because of their hunger and the king's greed. Meanwhile, Miri begins school at the Queen's Castle, where she meets a boy named Timon. Miri simultaneously begins to feel distanced from Peder as he devotes himself to his apprenticeship and she to her studies. Timon introduces Miri to his group of friends who support the revolution. Timon and Miri spend more time together and become more involved in the revolution. When Timon expresses his feelings for her, Miri begins to doubt the future with Peder she thought she'd have. She also feels conflicted between her sympathy for the shoeless and her friendship with Britta, who becomes the rebels' target as the revolution grows and more protests occur. What culture was discussed permeated the story. Things like 'quarry-singing', holding hands, and twirling the miri flowers (to name a few) were present throughout the story, lending the culture a consistancy. Newbery, Caldecott Honors and More".

This is a powerful message to me, especially for young readers who may or may not question the history that they are taught in school, or think about how power structures and control of knowledge/propaganda shape opportunity. In The Forgotten Sisters, this is seen with respect to gender, and silencing women.Cybils Finalists". Children's and Young Adult Book Lover's Literary Awards.

She was in the middle of learning guitar from one of her friends and could sing. Also, she liked photography and did amazing snapshots of candle and flower scenes and was learning more and different styles and techniques. The feminism was taken to a whole new level. In the first book when it’s the educated academy girls helping their village learn better trading practices (Proverbs 31!) and even in the second one when they speak out in government, I didn’t mind it as much as in this one. Some of the plot devices (the mystery even) seemed contrived just to make sure it was the girls doing everything. By the end of the book, three of our girls are in government, and the men are…? Shown as cruel, foolish, weak, or stepped down because it was a good idea. ( And why is Tutor Olana teaching prince academy?) There were even a few bits with Peder that I didn’t like--him telling Miri that she’s a fighter and he’s not or him trying to dress up as a girl so he can protect them in a certain circumstance (since this is a bit of a “No Boys Allowed” book). Do not do this to my brave Mount Eskel boy.

Princess Academy: The Forgotten Sisters is a fantasy novel written by Shannon Hale and published by Bloomsbury USA in 2015. It is the third and final installment of the Princess Academy series, preceded by Princess Academy: Palace of Stone. It follows the story of Miri Larendaughter, who becomes a tutor to three royal cousins in a new princess academy in the swampy land of Lesser Alva. I couldn't get around the unseemly and awkward phrasing, so bad I couldn't enjoy the story. My impression is that the author is not well-read; her word-usage is just slightly off. The combination of bulky sentence structure and jarring words felt pretentious to me. The poetry, intended as quarry-work songs, was nauseatingly trite. Ech! Unfortunately, these aren't sporadic issues, they inundate the entire novel. Definitely could have used more editing. Author Profile - Shannon Hale".
