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.

I liked the characters each unique. I think some parts could have been more drawn out- like the time with the dust witch. But overall a good story

Can’t be;I’ve it took me this long to pick up a work by T. Kingfisher - now an ‘auto-buy’ author for me going forward. The story feels like a retelling of a nostalgic dark fairytale I never knew I loved, the found family, the subtle way the magic system is used as a side character or side element not making it overly fantastical in that sense made for such a cozy and fun listen. I finished this in one thunderstorm cursed day and the vibes were just magnificent.

It’s nothing like I’ve read before and I highly recommend to anybody who is a fan of: fantasy but needing. Break from overwhelming series with ultra detailed world building and character palette, romance readers who want a more cozy adventure focused story with a well paced romance tension in the background, historic/speculative fiction readers.

Cozy and magical! Such a good listen

This is my first T. Kingfisher book and I absolutely loved it. It’s original, with very likeable and unforgettable characters and a beautifully written storyline. This cosy dark fantasy standalone has a powerful female ensemble, a very dashing and pragmatic swordsman, a demon possessed chicken, a bone dog and baby chick called Finder; and they’re on a quest to save Marra’s sister Kalia from her evil husband, the Prince of the Northern Kingdom. It’s such a great story and beautifully narrated by Amara Jasper. This one comes highly recommended.

What a magical story 🧙‍♀️

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
