The Bride's Farewell is about a girl called Pell who runs away, just before she is to be married. She wants to escape a life of work and sorrow. Many things happen to her and she must fight to survive. Along the way she makes lots of friends, some of which leave her alone in the world in one way or another.
I really enjoyed this book and it was very good. It is written extremely well and everything was described clearly. Everything that happened to Pell in the book was obviously well thought out and it all tied together.
At times I was a bit confused becasuse all of the characters kept popping up and I didn't know who was who but as I got further into the book it got better. I grew to like some characters and dislike others.
My favourite part of the book was near the beginning, when Pell is at Salisbury fair. The person she meets and makes friends with there was my favourite character apart from Pell herself. This is because in the book she seemed a likeable character and her personality seemed very nice.
I didn't really have a least favourite part because I liked all of it. I always felt sorry or happy for Pell and I kept wishing in my head for everything to turn out ok.
In conclusion, I loved this book. It wasn't hard for me to read and I liked the characters. The descriptions were amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed reading the whole thing.
