Query: My all-time favorite book!

Which woman can't relate to an adolescent who is not understood by her family because she wants something different for herself than they have planned? What woman doesn't feel at some point in her life that she has to contribute to her world by doing something only she can do (in some cases, we call that motherhood, as well as rocket science and brain surgery)? Although some of the writing is a bit awkward, especially in the first few pages, it is a wonderful story of how a girl goes from being the black sheep of the family to being the nation's heroine.As for Valdemar being perfect, I tend to think not. Why would you need Heralds if the place were perfect? No one would be greedy, lie, cheat, murder, plot, or swindle. The imperfections in the nation are evident in books 2 and 3. Just give yourself a chance to get there.A devoted reader.
