Hush: An Irish Princess' Tale
by Donna Jo Napoli
I like that this is based on an Icelandic story, and the idea of fleshing out folklore is always intriguing. But I can't help but wonder... what was the point of this story? We float from event to event, seeing Melkorka go from a haughty and entitled princess who sneers at slaves, to being enslaved herself and travelling from place to place... but does she really learn or grow? We meet secondary characters who seem destined to play a substantial role in her life... only to vanish and not be seen again. And don't get me started on the unsatisfying ending. I feel very deprived of a climax.
Made me want to return to Sevenwaters though!
