Lady of Palenque: Flower of Bacal by Anna Kirwan



In which 13 year old Green Jay on the Wall lives with her many siblings and step mothers. Soon she is told that she will be leaving to go marry. She is given many lovely gifts including a belt made out of jade. On the trip to her new husband they meet some unfriendly tribes, they lose two men’s lives to the water and run into many caimans. Will she get to her new home safely?


As sad as it makes me, I did not finish this book. There are too many long names of people and places so by the end of each chapter you are exhausted. One thing I did like about this book was the creation stories. There are many of them in this book. I did enjoy learning about a new place and time. I hope that you will be able to read this book and really enjoy it.

This book is in the Royal Diaries series.

Recommended for people who like: fancy names, creation stories, and rain.

  1. You are being very generous with two stars, Rhanna. This book was terribly written. It was like the author had been given a school assignment about a person in which she wasn't interested, so she typed up a lot of drivel. Don't feel bad about not finishing it!!

    And at least now Scott will be happy that you reviewed a book you didn't love! :)
