About this listen

After years of seeing her sisters suffer at the hands of an abusive prince, Marra—the shy, convent-raised, third-born daughter—has finally realized that no one is coming to their rescue. No one, except for Marra herself. Seeking help from a powerful gravewitch, Marra is offered the tools to kill a prince—if she can complete three impossible tasks. But, as is the way in tales of princes, witches, and daughters, the impossible is only the beginning. On her quest, Marra is joined by the gravewitch, a reluctant fairy godmother, a strapping former knight, and a chicken possessed by a demon. Together, the five of them intend to be the hand that closes around the throat of the prince and frees Marra's family and their kingdom from its tyrannous ruler at last.

T. Kingfisher creates the most amazing worlds, bonds and magic systems and it is a joy. For me, the first few chapters had me a bit lost, but as the back story filled in and characters were introduced and developed it was a fantastic journey. A real pleasure to listen to and wonderfully narrated.

Magic

I very much enjoyed this. I did not expect to. It is both dark and imaginative, and joyous and hopeful.

I have neither the words to describe my enjoyment of this books writing nor to share my engagement with the story without spoilers.

It is; a dark fairytale with realistic people, grim but hopeful, set in a complex world and simply told. It is a good read.

I enjoyed it.

Imaginative, dark and joyful
