The Swan Kingdom by Zoë Marriott
4.0
This was a very nice fairytale style story with kings and princesses and a magic connected to the power of the land, of the nature. I loved the whole herb part of it. Truth is the story was sometimes a bit quick, Alexandra moved from one place to another but in the end everything made sense. I guess who expects typical YA fantasy, might be dissapointed here, as Alexandra is almost never distracted by any charming prince, she minds her bussines and tries to save her home, once charming prince appears it is in a very delicate and shy way and I was happy for that as I am not much fan when there is too much importance on the romantic side of the story.
So if you like fairytales, kingdoms, magic, if you like when there is some herbology involved in the magic and you dont need a loot of !oh my god I love him, sighing and only thinking about the charming boy!, give it a try!
And as I dont now the original story as this is retelling, maybe this even made it so good for me, who knows what I would say if I would know the original story, but on its own this story of the Swan Kingdom was great!
