Story
Evie is happiest when she is healing people, diagnosing symptoms and prescribing medications, with the help of her devoted friend Wormy. So when Wormy unexpectedly proposes to her, she kindly turns him down; she has far too much to do to be marrying anyone. And besides, she simply isn’t in love with him. But a certain meddling fairy named Lucinda has been listening in, and she doesn’t approve of Evie’s rejection. Suddenly, Evie finds herself transformed from a girl into a hideous, hungry ogre! Evie now has only 62 days to accept another proposal - or else be stuck as an ogre forever.

Story
Aza's singing is the fairest in all the land - and the most unusual. She can "throw" her voice so it seems to come from anywhere. But singing is only one of the two qualities prized in the Kingdom of Ayortha. Aza doesn't possess the other: beauty. Not even close. She's hidden in the shadows in her parents' inn, but when she becomes lady-in-waiting to the new queen, she has to step into the light - especially when the queen demands a dangerous favor.

Publisher's summary
In this compelling and thought-provoking fantasy set in the world of The Two Princesses of Bamarre, Newbery Honor-winning author Gail Carson Levine introduces a spirited heroine who must overcome deeply rooted prejudice—including her own—to heal her broken country.
Peregrine strives to live up to the ideal of her people, the Latki—and to impress her parents: affectionate Lord Tove, who despises only the Bamarre, and stern Lady Klausine. Perry runs the fastest, speaks her mind, and doesn’t give much thought to the castle’s Bamarre servants, whom she knows to be weak and cowardly.
But just as she’s about to join her father on the front lines, she is visited by the fairy Halina, who reveals that Perry isn’t Latki-born. She is Bamarre. The fairy issues a daunting challenge: against the Lakti power, Perry must free her people from tyranny.

Story
At the Medio School for Girls, distinguished young women are trained for one of two roles in their polarized society. Depending on her specialization, a graduate will one day run a husband’s household or raise his children. Both paths promise a life of comfort and luxury, far from the frequent political uprisings of the lower class. Daniela Vargas is the school’s top student, but her pedigree is a lie. She must keep the truth hidden or be sent back to the fringes of society. And school couldn’t prepare her for the difficult choices she must make after graduation.

My first Levine
For years, I have meant to read Gail Carson Levine. I’ve collected beat up second hand books and bought kindle editions when the price was right. Even Audible versions such as this when the sale hit and I saw it at the right moment. This was an excellent place to begin. While yes, I’ve seen the film version of Ella Enchanted, this is the first story with The Lost Kingdom of Bamarre that I have read/listened.
The narrator was upbeat and energetic. The character personalities came out and for moments I forgot it was only one voice. My daughter (11) and I really enjoyed this.

Excellent story, writing and world-building
Excellent story, writing, world-building and more. It wasn't five star for me, as The Two Princesses of Bamarre was, but definitely a book I will re-read some day. The main character is engaging, and many other characters are, as well. The ending wasn't as absorbing to me as most of the story up to that point. Overall, I recommend this, and the sequel, which was written much earlier, I enthusiastically urge upon you.

Cute story and good reader
Reading a fairy tale as an adult is sometimes difficult due to the usual audience but I found this very cute and fun to listen to. I haven’t read any of the other books regarding Bamarre and it was fine.

Liked and Disliked
An interesting and enjoyable story with some unexpected twists.
I was, however, disappointed with how the author handled Drualt. The previews said we would get to meet this legendary hero from the Two Princess of Bamarre (released 2001). However Drualt played such a minor role in this book. In the 2 princesses, he was the revered, historical hero that helped found the kingdom of bamarre. However this book reveals he was just the endearingly bold tag a long to the female heroines; who somehow came away with all the credit by the time the 2 princesses come around. I find that irritating. I really enjoy having so many female heroes in media but can’t the men play valuable roles too? It seems like writers of today go out of their way to make the male heroes less important than women. I find that saddening.

Magical!
I absolutely loved The Two Princesses of Bamarre, and was a little worried this one wouldn't live up to my expectations. However I was pleased to find that this book is just as good as the first. I was sort of expecting that it was a sequel to the first but it ended up being a prequel. It was cool though because you get to see the origins of Bamarre. (Although I missed not hearing more about the sisters from book 1) In conclusion loved both and recommend to girls ages 10 and up. (I'm 18)

Begging your pardon
This is a good "second" novel. Really you could read this one first and Two Princesses of Bamarre after if you wanted. I like this book because it doesn't slide over death and hurt. It doesn't become gory though since it's a children's book and I like that. I thought Perri was a relatable heroine. I'd recommend this book for anyone but it might scare someone under 8yrs old.
