Book reviews? Turns out I had a lot just in my write up folders. I’m not typically a re-read kind of gal, but I’d definitely re-read this beauty.Okay. Each character grew, morphed, and certainly had their own personality. It was reminiscent of a gothic tale, where it flowed from one person to the next and seamlessly so. The story actually switches back and forth between FIVE points of view. I savored this world and the story.īut what of the characters? Delightful, absolutely delightful. I’ll confess the early part of the book was a little slow, but once it began to pick up I didn’t want to put it down. The plot, I know, was inspired loosely by Princess & The Pea, and gosh I loved the twist Howard put on it! She turned the classic fairytale on its head and spun it into something wholly unique and her own.
The world-building in this story is on point! In-depth, beautiful, grim and whimsical, all things someone expects in a fairytale! Howard, I always expect something grand, and this book did not disappoint. Maas will love this!Īs a long time fan of A.G. My Thoughts Fans of Uprooted by Naomi Novik & A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. To win back her kingdom, save the prince, and make peace with the land of the night, Lyra must be loud enough to be heard without a voice, and strong enough to pass a series of tests-ultimately proving she’s everything a traditional princess is not. As Lyra finds her way back to her identity, an imposter princess prepares to steal her betrothed prince and her crown.
Meanwhile, in Lyra’s rival kingdom, the prince of thorns and night is dying, and the only way for him to break his curse is to wed the princess of daylight-for she is his true equal. After Lyra-a princess incapable of speech or sound-is cast out of her kingdom of daylight by her wicked aunt, a witch saves her life, steals her memories, and raises her in an enchanted forest.
