Review:
I am so glad I gave this book a chance. I read 1 book by T. Kingfisher & I really didn't like it. I was afraid I would not like any of her other book. I am glad I was wrong.
I love the idea of this book. The princess didn't consider herself as such as she wasn't raised as a princess. She lived in what she believed to a normal world, until she had to deliver a gift. She messes up and tries to fix her screw up, only to find out it was some sort of ploy by a goddess to rid the world of the changeling that took her place as princess.
I loved Toadling. Do I want to see how life is for her now that she is 'free'? Yes. If it ever comes I hope it is not rushed.
Goodreads Description:
Thornhedge is the tale of a kind-hearted, toad-shaped heroine, a gentle knight, and a mission gone completely sideways.
There's a princess trapped in a tower. This isn't her story.
Meet Toadling. On the day of her birth, she was stolen from her family by the fairies, but she grew up safe and loved in the warm waters of faerieland. Once an adult though, the fae ask a favor of Toadling: return to the human world and offer a blessing of protection to a newborn child. Simple, right?
But nothing with fairies is ever simple.
Centuries later, a knight approaches a towering wall of brambles, where the thorns are as thick as your arm and as sharp as swords. He's heard there's a curse here that needs breaking, but it's a curse Toadling will do anything to uphold…
