Book Review: Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher

Nettle & Bone
by T. Kingfisher (Kingfisher)

A pragmatic, feet firmly on the ground youngest princess is thrust into a fairytale. Her older sisters both threatened by a tyrannical prince, Marra (our grounded youngest princess) just wants to live an ordinary, quiet life. But when those she loves are threatened, Marra rises to the occasion with the same pragmatic, dogged approach to every event in her life so far.

 

Read this book if you love Naomi Novik, Juliet Marillier or other fairytale-esque books!

 

(If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try Uprooted by Naomi Novik, Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier, The Bear and the Nightingale: A Story by Katherine Arden or Mystic and Rider by Sharon Shinn.)
