Razo has no idea why he was chosen to be a soldier. He can barely swing a sword, and his brothers are forever wrestling him to the ground. Razo is sure it's out of pity that his captain asks him to join an elite mission--escorting the ambassador into Tira, Bayern's great enemy.
But when the Bayern arrive in the strange southern country, Razo discovers the first dead body. He befriends both the high and low born, people who can perhaps provide them with vital information. And Razo is the one who must embrace his own talents in order to get the Bayern soldiers home again, alive.
Newbery–Honor winner Shannon Hale returns the reader to the intrigue and magic of Bayern, first introduced in her critically acclaimed novel, The Goose Girl. Enter a world where even those with no special magical skills find in themselves something they never imagined.

Summary: Great Book
Comment: Loved this series. It suggests that you can read this as a stand alone, but would recommend reading The Goose Girl and Enna Burning first. Great books for young adults and adults. Very easy and good reading!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Enjoyable, but not fantastic
Comment: The book is more light-hearted than Shannon Hale's previous books, perhaps because this book's main character is a bit of a scamp. The book was enjoyable but didn't quit grab me the way her other books have.
The pacing and world-building were very good. The characters were engaging and changed realistically throughout the book. The romance in the story develops slowly. There was no sex, and I don't recall any cussing. Overall, I'd recommend this as a good, clean fun novel.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Hilarious & thoughtful
Comment: pre script: [This is not the last book of the Books of Bayern! There is a fourth book coming out.www.shannonhale.com!!] This book is the most humorous of the three that Hale wrote. Razo, the main character, seems to be born to be funny! If you read the other two books, you might note that the plot is quite fast-moving. The plot for this book is not as fast as those, but perhaps has more amount of surprises. It gets a little boring, maybe, in the middle bacause it is slow. Each surprising information that Hale reveals doesn't really come together until much later in the book. In that case, read the book again later, sometime not too soon. You will find that you enjoy the book more. Do remember to read all the way to the end; do not skip some pages when bored.
About Razo: Short(he grows later in the book), uncertain, seventeen years old (in the beginning of the book), easygoing, hilarious(or at least funny), black-haired. Socializes a lot, a prefect spy, an experienced slinger(Finn helps Razo find that out), flexible. The main character; fun to see the book in close third-person view of him. Caught up in the intrigue between Bayern and Tira, solves everything out(with some help) at the end. Likes food!
Enna: Eighteen years old(again, at the beginning of the book)
Finn: Very patient; Eighteen years old
Isi/Ani: Twenty-one years old (I thought she was 20...)
Geric: Twenty-five
Megina: 20
Talone: I guess he is at least 40
Napralina: Eighteen years old; the second daughter of Kildenree
His Radiance the Prince: I guess he is 20 or something

Summary: More on Goose Girl Characters
Comment: Once again, some of the characters from Goose Girl continue in this book. I love Shannon Hale, but got a bit lost in the plot of this book. Still, it is excellent and captures the imagination of all. Not as light-hearted as Goose Girl and Princess Academy, and may be more suited for an older reader.

Comment: If you enjoyed the first two Goose Girl books you will enjoy the third one.
