Similar to their other book Thornhedge, this applies such a great twist on the classic fantasy fairytale characters that I really admired and enjoyed.
The premise itself was very clever and the characters themselves were loveable and provided a great balance of humour and intrigue throughout.
The only reason I can’t rate higher than 4 stars is though I really enjoyed Marra’s character, I wish she had a more active role in the final conflict as she fell very much on the sideline - though this does make sense for the plot just feel a bit flat as the main protagonist.
Overall a very enjoyable read and would definitely see myself reading again and recommending as a great little standalone.
