Description from the publisher:
A princess who refuses to be a
prize. A prince's promise. Perhaps dragons aren't so bad after all.
Once upon a time...
Promised as a prize to any hero who
can slay the dragon, Princess Sativa flees the palace in search of the prince
she was betrothed to as a child. But there are many miles between her and the
boy who has become a king.
Can a lone princess cross the sea
and convince the king she's the princess of his dreams?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
APPEASE is the eighth book in the
Romance a Medieval Fairytale. Though
loosely connected, each does stand on its own and can be read in any
order. There is a strong tie in to
EMBELLISH: BRAVE LITTLE TAILOR RETOLD as
we see George and Melitta’s wedding night from Sativa’s point of view.
Sativa is brave, smart, feisty, and
determined to have the life she has dreamed of having since she was six years
old. Then he was a prince, now King,
Reidar is a gentleman to his betrothed even when all others have given up hope….
SIGH. That is the stuff of fairy tales.
I loved this retelling of a favorite
classic. Sativa was amazing… this
princess isn’t waiting for her prince.
After all, he’s too busy being a king (though she doesn’t know that.) Instead, she sets off to save herself, and in
the process gives Melitta and George their HEA, too. Some parts were harrowing for any traveler
and others even more so for a woman, but Sativa shows that she is more than
meets the eye. I like to think we all
are – more than meets the eye. Luckily,
Reidar is just the kind of prince worthy of such devotion and determination.
There is also a whimsical touch of magic
in mentions of her Fairy Godmother, Dalia, at the beginning and when she meets
her again just before being reunited with Reidar. I am a sucker for any story with a Fairy
Godmother.
I’m sorry that there are only a few
more books left to go in this series, but I’m glad that I won’t miss a one of
them!
Note: while I was given this book as a gifted ARC,
