Product Description

Synopsis

SENRID is a story of swashbuckling boys and girls, royal stakes, mysterious villains, high adventure and strange magic, set in the universe of CROWN DUEL and INDA, in the tradition of Lloyd Alexander's WESTMARK and Megan Whalen Turner's THE THIEF. Teen-aged king Leander Tlennen-Hess has barely ruled a year when he and his step-sister Kitty (or Princess Kyale, as she wishes to be known) are surprised by two visitors. The first is an adventure-loving girl, Faline, who helps Leander defend his tiny kingdom from invasion by the menacing warrior kingdom Marloven Hess, using only imagination and a bit of magic. The second visitor is a nice, friendly boy...who asks too many questions about the recent defeat of those evil Marlovens. The nice, friendly visitor turns out to be Senrid, king of Marloven Hess. But Senrid is king in name only. His uncle, the regent, holds power and Senrid must prove himself to be sufficiently strong by abducting for execution the two kids who thwarted the invasion. The only way to save them is to enter the stronghold of the enemy, in flimsy disguise...Sherwood Smith is the beloved author of over 25 books, best known for her stories for children and young adults.

She has been writing in this fantasy milieu since age eight, and her first novel set there, CROWN DUEL, is currently in its ninth printing. "Sherwood Smith's SENRID, written when she was fifteen, offers an extraordinary window into the development of a wonderful writer. Here in embryo are all the elements that Smith's fans have come to love." -- Justine Larbalestier "There's a lot of camaraderie, as well as budding sexual tension and never-a-dull-moment momentum." -- Kirkus Reviews on WREN'S QUEST "A realm in trouble, a spirited female hero with magic to surround her, mystery, romance, an enigmatic marquis, court etiquette and secret messages -- this is the stuff of dreams!" -- Tamora Pierce on CROWN DUEL

3.0 out of 5 stars An early work., 13 Nov 2007
By aunti diluvian - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Senrid (Paperback)
The tiny kingdom of Vasande Leror is in big trouble. It's broke. Its army has been disbanded. Its teenage king is a nice unassuming young lad. And its neighbour is a massive kingdom full of fanatical warriors whose armies are now massing on the border.

This seems to be the first(?) publication of a very early work by Sherwood Smith. It's full of exuberant energy and invention, but a little undisciplined in places - narrative threads swoop in and out of the story with startling rapidity and the narrative style changes as the story progresses, including a jokey and colloquial first person journal.

If you are new to Sherwood Smith's writing then this is not the book to start with - I would recommend 'Inda', which is superb. This is more of a curiosity, likely to appeal to younger readers who will love the sheer energy, and Sherwood Smith fanatics keen to spend more time in her amazingly detailed universe.
