World’s End by Erica Verrillo


Verrillo, Erica World’s End, 322 p. Random, 2009. In celebration of her 15th birthday, Elissa’s father tells her that he is throwing a grand ball in her honor and that many eligible young men will be there from all over their world. What he doesn’t tell her (but she finds out anyway) is that he has already chosen her husband, the betrothal will be announced at the ball, and he is sending all of her friends away so that she will do what he wants. Elissa will not acquiesce without a fight – and instead chooses to flee Castlemar and find her own destiny. Go Elissa! I enjoyed this nice fantasy trilogy that reminds me of The Blue Sword. Give it a try. EL, MS – ADVISABLE. Cindy, Library-Teacher.
