Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale

5.0

Lady Saran's father, in a fit of anger, locks his daughter and her maid, Dashti, in a tower for seven years. "Book of a Thousand Days" is Dashti's diary of their imprisonment, escape, and the ensuing adventure.

I really enjoyed Hale's retelling of the Grimm's fairy tale, "Maid Maleen," which I was unfamiliar with until this point. I loved that it was written in a diary format (which I am a huge fan of); definitely made the story pass by in no time!
