Harry Crewe, the Homelander orphan girl, is pleased with her new home. Life in Istan is certainly easy, but a voice in her ear whispers that the home of her heart is among the Hillfolk, among the descendants of Lady aerin, who once wielded Gonturan, the Blue Sword. --https://www.recordedbooks.com/title-details/9781449872250

Review of 'The Blue Sword' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

A romantic fantasy that took way too long to read - partly because it just wasn't interesting to my daughter. Should have plunged ahead without her much earlier.

Reminds me in a few ways of Narnia - completely alien world, special powers, characters as heroes, and one major confrontation/battle. Two great animal characters in her hunting cat and warhorse - well written and solid contributors to the storyline.

Wasn't thrilled with how quickly the main character became proficient and then excelled at almost everything. I understand [a:Robin McKinley|5339|Robin McKinley|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1314406026p2/5339.jpg] has other books in this world that are more highly praised; I plan to check at least one of them out in the future.
