I read in the Acknowledgments of this book that one of the critique partners compared Chance Miller to Edward Cullen, saying Chance will give Edward some solid competition. I couldn't agree more.I love when I read the right book at the right time. Loramendi's Story was that book for me. I was looking for something YA with princesses and castles and romance. Angela Carlie delivered - and so much more. Loramendi's Story was very well written, an exciting tale that kept me on the edge of my seat the few hours it took me to read it. Lora was a character I could relate to, Chance was the boy I wanted to take home, and Aubrey was a wonderful grandma nearly reminiscent of my own. I love that this book took place in Washington because Carlie's descriptions make me feel like I just spent a few days in that area, an area I long to visit some day.This was a great adventure. A great new look at shapeshifters and fairytales. I loved the animals chosen, the concept behind being a shapeshifter in the story and the idea of being a princess in a far away (or not so far away) fairytale-like land. Lora has already found her prince; now she just needs to slay the dragon (or whatever form the bad guy takes).I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to read fairytales and about shapeshifters. This book maybe listed as YA but it's age barrier is as timeless as the tales it's crafted after.
