In which a young girl named Mallow leaves the country for the city, meets a number of Winds, Cats, and handsome folk, sees something dreadful, and engages, much against her will, in Politicks of the most muddled kind.

This is going to be a very short review because this book is very short. It is a prequel for The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making. It is available only as an ebook. I’m not sure if it is only on the Kindle or if you can get it other places.

This story is told the same way as the first book. It is told from the perspective of a narrator that is telling the story of Mallow, who becomes Princess Mallow that is talked about throughout the first book.

I liked being able to see how Mallow became Princess Mallow. You were also able to see a couple of other people that you are introduced to in the first story. If you liked The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland… I think you will like this story too.

My Rating:
