When I read the dedication ("This book is dedicated with affection for, but no patience with, those who would protect our children through humorless moralizing and paranoia about fantasy.") I thought I would enjoy it. But from just about the first page, I could tell it wasn't my type. I found Heir Apparent
This book has the unique accomplishment of being on both my YA science fiction and YA fantasy shelves. It's a fantasy RPG (role playing game) with magic, dragons, princesses, etc., wrapped in a SF shell (technology gone wrong). The main character is a 14 y/o girl, Giannine aka Janine, who is playing a total immersion RPG that requires her to prove herself the rightful heir to the throne and overcome conniving relatives, dragons, rebelling peasants, an angry king of a neighboring country (his

Apparently it's second in a series, but I had no idea, as this was another random selection from the library. Also, the author makes it clear that this was written - at least in part - as a reaction to fundamentalists and others who rail against the value of
I'll be honest, I mostly picked up this audiobook because it was narrated by Carine Montreband and I was so in love with the Uglies books by Westerfeld that she narrated that I wanted to hear her voice again.

Description In Pursuance Of Books Heir Apparent (Rasmussem Corporation #2)
In the virtual reality game Heir Apparent, there are way too many ways to get killed--and Giannine seems to be finding them all. Which is a darn shame, because unless she can get the magic ring, locate the stolen treasure, answer the dwarf's dumb riddles, impress the head-chopping statue, charm the army of ghosts, fend off the barbarians, and defeat the man-eating dragon, she'll never win.And she has to, because losing means she'll die--for real this time.

If someone asked me to recommend a true Scifi/Fantasy book, not the cheap, poorly written pieces of junk that some books are, I would tell them that they would HAVE to read this book! It is wonderfully written, with the right amount of humour, Drama, Suspense/Horror and to top things off it is written in the realm of medieval times=) Gianne is a believable character, she takes on the situations that are thrown at her whether its reciting a different poem multiple times to searching throughI'm embarrassed to say that I tried this book.
