Hush: An Irish Princess' Tale by Donna Jo Napoli
4.0

I picked up this book in the library when I was looking for a quick read because I love Sirena by the same author and thought this re-telling of Irish and Icelandic folk tales sounded interesting. I'm so glad I did! I loved following the story of Melkorka and her journey from Irish princess to Icelandic chieftan's favourite slave and everything in between. I really cared what happened to the various characters (mainly the slaves and especially Malkorka, Maeve and the children) and was fascinated by the look at the people and lands of Melkorka's world.
