REVIEW: Banished by Betsy Schow

*Thanks to Netgalley and Sourcefire Books for an ARC in exchange for a review*

Expected publication: February 6, 2018

Publisher's Summary:

While lying in the hospital in a place called Kansas, Princess Dorthea of Emerald struggles to regain her memory of the events that propelled her out of the land of Story—and to remember how to get home.

Meanwhile, in Story, Rexi, with the help of Excalibur, continues to gain confidence in writing her own tale as she fights to save the land from the Wicked Witch. But as is always the case with evil villains, she is not to be underestimated. Can Dorthea and Rexi save their home while protecting the prince they both love from getting caught in the crossfire?
 

As the third and (final?) book in the Storytellers series, readers will find this just as much fun as Spelled and Wanted.  Schow has perfected the twisted fairy tale vibe by also added a rift on the modern. Her characters are well developed who have fantastic individuality. I especially love that her female protagonists are strong, sassy and intelligent. 

Overall, this was a fun read and recommended for fans of Dorothy Must Die, The Lunar Chronicles and other fantasy/fairy tale based books with humor and romance.

Final rating: 4 out of 5 stars
