The thing is that in many ways, everyone but her was punished. Then, when she breaks her fathers' rules, he finally decides that she has to learn from this mistake. She had been spoiled her life, she was the daughter of a king after all, and she was not used to anyone saying no to her.

My favourite character in the book besides Rose was The Troll Queen. Who was your favourite character besides Rose? Why?

As fresh and original as only the best fantasy can be, East is a novel retelling of the classic tale "East of the Sun and West of the Moon," told in the tradition of Robin McKinley and Gail Carson Levine. In solving that mystery, she finds love, discovers her purpose, and realizes her travels have only just begun. The bear takes Rose to a distant castle, where each night she is confronted with a mystery. So when an enormous white bear mysteriously shows up and asks her to come away with him, she readily agrees.
