This was such a fun read! Got through it in one sitting. I will definitely be reading this author’s other books. The characters were fun and the universe was so cool. The writing was great.

This was a fun fairytale style adventure. If you like soft magic systems this is for you. A princess, a fugitive, a bonedog, a grumpy witch and a fairy godmother set off to kill an abuser. What more could you ask for?

Writing - 4/5 

Plot - 4/5 

Characters - 5/5 

World-building - 3/5 

Personal tastes - 5/5 

TOTAL:  4.2 

 

I wanted more of… everything? More blighted land, more haunted castle crypt, more fairy market, even more of the abbey. And more of most of the side characters, too—especially Agnes, who really needs her own book. 

I was debating whether to round my rating up or down; I decided the chickens count for enough on their own to round it up.
