Unabridged Audiobook
Great narrator. Fun book.
What happens when you mix the Grimm fairy tale, The Goose Girl, with a Regency Era romance, and a dark touch of the gothic? Well, I suppose it would be this book. I read this alongside the audiobook that rotates between two different narrators of the younger girl (Cordelia’s view) and squire’s elder sister (Hester’s view). Cordelia is frightened by her mother’s control and violent tendencies, but grows bold over time as she sees the need to stop her mother from destroying her want for independence and the friends she garners along the way. Hester finds a need to fight for her family’s (and love’s) protection, when the sorceress comes a calling. I do wonder about Cordelia’s life now at the end of the book as to if she also lost any of her magic? Odd Notes: I find it very interesting that limpet was used as a metaphor twice. Also page 125 kind of makes me wonder if Squire was married or not because it sounded like he was at one time with the reference word of “again”, despite his prior statement that he thought matrimony a trap.
