Credits: [] Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale is by far the best book I've ever read. It's about a girl named Dashti, who was a mucker girl (better known as a peasant, in some areas.) Dashti's story is touching and heartbreaking, and when she's entitled to be Lady Saren's lady in waiting, her life changes forever. Lady Saren is locked in a tower with faithful Dashti for two years upon which many troubles find them- no doubt Under, the god of tricks, doings. But when Lady Saren's lost love, Khan Tegus, comes to the tower, Lady Saren insists that Dashti speak for her through the dump hole. So Dashti does, and suprisingly, Kahn Tegus believes it is his Lady Saren, to whom he was betrothed to many years ago. Dashti is completely confused but is happy when he gives her objects from the outside world, including a cat Dashti calls My Lord. The darkness is driving Dashti and her Lady to madness, but when Dashti discovers a brick that's been knocked out, her hopes of escape are higher than ever. Read the book to find out what happens!
