I read your books as a young girl and now I am almost 30! I was suddenly very nostalgic for the 2 princesses of bamarre and I googled you and found your website. I want to thank you for the lovely time I've had, buried in your books, most of it taught and modelled for me courage, kindness, and grittiness a women would face in the form of beautiful fairy tales. Can't thank you enough!
Dear Gail Carson Levine,
The fantasy worlds you create (and the cliff hangers) make it hard for me to close your books. And the characters you imagine are inspiring and well animated.
My favorite of your books are A Tale Of Two Castles and Ella Enchanted.
I hope one day I could be a writer as creative and successful as you!
Thank you so much for inspiring me

I read my little sister "For Biddle's Sake" a little while ago and she loved it. Thank you, Mrs. Levine, for writing such funny and sweet stories. We are planning on reading "Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg" soon.

Dear Gail Carson Levine,
Today, I found myself rereading both Ella Enchanted and Fairest, two books that I loved when I was young. This is a rare occurrence, for me to read books that I enjoyed back then, because with the pleasant nostalgia often comes the unpleasant memories of the things I went through back then.
But this was not the case for me, rereading those books today. Instead, just as I did as a child escaping the horrors of the world, I found myself pulled into the world of the books, falling in love with it all over again, and finding new appreciation in it as an adult with a much better understanding for writing.
The characters have such strong voices, and even unsympathetic characters such as Ivi are compelling. I can't help being impressed with the world building, and look forward to seeing more of it when I read Ogre Enchanted (when I have a bit of spare money to buy a book).
I apologize for leaving such a long comment, but I simply couldn't stop until I let all my thoughts out. Thank you for writing the books you've written, as they've had a huge impact on my life. Books were my escape as a child, and now writing is, but the books I grew up with are still close to my heart, and that is especially true for Ella Enchanted and Fairest (though I did read some of your other books too, as I recall I also loved Ever!).
Thank you again.
Leon
