Posse of Princesses, by Sherwood Smith [not yet published!]
by Christine, 12th grader, who read an advance copy
Don’t be deceived by the girly title. This wonderful book is filled with action. When Rhis of Nym is called to a gathering of all of the royal youth of the area, she never dreams she will be responsible for saving the diplomatic relations of almost every country there. With an interesting and page-turning plot, Posse of Princesses, has become one of my favorite books.

I also read and enjoyed this book. It reminded me of my other favorite book by Sherwood, Crown Duel.
It has some action, but I really feel like it’s an introspective story with a curious and teachable main character. I really like Rhis and her ways of dealing with people. She finds ways of ending a fight without violence. I wish I could be more like that.
I got an ARC by asking Sherwood, via email. There were only a few left when I asked. It will be published in March 2008.

I read it before she even sent it to the publisher by joining her livejournal community, community.livejournal.com/athanarel.
There are several unpublished books stored in the memories there. Sherwood posts them for her fans to read for fun, and occasionally to critique, although she has to take them down once she submits them to be published. Just note, you have to actually join livejournal to join the community.
And I agree, she’s an amazing author!! =)
