I read this series of 3 in less than a week (and bought Shannon's 4th book the next day). I have a 2 yr old son and hope someday he will enjoy these as much as I did. And if I have a girl, I know she will. The books were just the right amount of "paranormal" and adventure and "romance" that anyone would find it hard to put them down. I knew Shannon Hale would not disappoint.

If you haven't read any of her books and are a bit leery of buying all 3 in a set, I promise you won't be disappointed!!

I cannot say enough good things about the Books of Bayern series. I absolutely love them. I highly recommend them to others, especially youth. They are clean, interesting, entertaining, and they ask you to thing deeper about the characters of the book and in turn your own. You finish each book wanting more and wanting to meet the characters and be a part of their circle and for me, there's no better ending to a book than wanting to be in it.

I bought these for my daughter because she loves to read. She kept telling me to read them but I didn't think I would like the series as much as her..I LOVE IT! I hope the author continues to write more Books of Bayern!

I have read some books from the same author and decided to try this series. I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Great for all ages, even grade school friendly.

For years, my friend told me about this "goose girl" book that I need to read. After my family had a rough week, I needed a pick-me-up to I finally bought it.

Terrific read. I found the stories to be fresh and interesting. The Goose Girl follows an unloved princess as she journeys to a new land to meet the prince she's never met. But when her escorts turn out to be would-be assasins and imposters, she is forced to live the life of a peasant until she masters a secret power that helps her overcome her trials.

Emma Burning is a little darker because Emma's power is fire, and fire consumes. Filled with an impulse she can barely control, Emma finds herself in the middle of a war...and maight be the key to stopping it.

River Secrets felt light and cheerful after the burning one, but it still pulled me into the story. Raso is charming and loyal, even under pressure. But when bodies turn up that frame his army for murder, he acts to try and prevent a second war.

I bought this set as a Christmas gift for my 12 year old great-niece, so the jury's still out on whether or not she will like the set. However, I was very pleased with how quickly I received the merchandise, and it arrived in pristine condition. I'll continue to use Amazon -never had serious problems with anything I've bought from them.

I read these books with my 10 year old. She and I both loved them. Well written, imaginative, and engaging books.

I love all Shannon Hale books and these do not disappoint. The Goose Girl is the best one but the others a great as well. Don't forget to get the 4th book in the series (Forest Born) as well to complete the set. These would be a great gift for all girls middle school and up. Though I'm in my 30's and enjoyed them too.
