A good wife is obedient, patient, obedient, quiet, obedient, doting, and above all, obedient. Sabetia was raised to be a good wife. It makes her perfect prey, a perfect damsel in distress.

My Review
There are many levels to this story. I liked that it had the Magical qualities of a good Fantasy Novel along with deeper themes that made it feel more real.
These characters were compelling, from the very beginning I found myself intrigued by Sabetia and her strength of character. Despite the trials of her life, she was a strong individual.
The plot was entertaining and flowed nicely, nothing felt like it dragged or was too rushed.
A beautiful fantasy novel.

Lee French lives in Worcester, MA with two kids, two bicycles, and too much stuff. She has written several books, including the Maze Beset superhero novel trilogy. In addition, she is an avid gamer and active member of the Myth-Weavers online RPG community, where she is infamous for finding unexpected ways to use squirrels. She also trains year-round for the one-week of glorious madness that is RAGBRAI, has a nice flower garden with absolutely no lawn gnomes, and tries in vain every year to grow vegetables that don’t get devoured by neighborhood wildlife.
Thank you for reading and hosting. I'm glad you liked it. :)
