Fantasy Books with a Kingdom Setting?
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for fantasy books with a setting of a kingdom era. Adventure and maybe romance would be a plus. I'm looking for young adult novels but I wouldn't mind something more advanced.
Examples are Graceling, Fire, and Bitterblue, the series by Kristen Cashore, Goose Girl and the rest of the series by Shannon Hale, and Princess Academy also like Shannon Hale.
If you can't think of anything that fits this description, I would really appreciate any kind of fantasy reccomendation.
Thanks!

Tamora Pierce would be a good match. She writes a lot kingdom stories. Alana is her most popular series, which is about a girl who wants to be a knight. I can also suggest Robin McKinley's The Hero and the Crown. Aerin is a princess who fights dragons. She fights to prove her worth, the daughter of a "witchwoman" who died in childbirth, she has never truly been accepted as the princess. Its an older title, but well worth the read.

Thank you for the suggestions, they sound perfect. I'll be checking them all out.sjohnston922 wrote:Have you tried The 500 Kingdoms series by Mercedes Lackey? Its takes on fairy tale kingdoms. The first book is called The Fairy Godmother and follow Elena as she learns how to be a fairy godmother and why certain stories repeat themselves within the kingdom. They are lighter reads then the ones you've mentioned, and has some romance and a lot of humor.

The 500 Kingdoms book are a very funny series! Entertaining twists on typical fairy tales.sjohnston922 wrote:Have you tried The 500 Kingdoms series by Mercedes Lackey?

The Chronicles of Prydain series might also be a good read.
