Who has no magic?ĭragons, magic, princesses, fairies – it’s all here in the second book in this series from Alethea Kontis and it does not, in any way disappoint or fall flat. After all, she conjured up an ocean in her backyard without even trying. That’s when she loses a brother and discovers that she’s got some sort of magic. So Saturday is content to just train and practice with her magical sword and live her life.
And her brothers? Oh that’s a whole other kettle of fish.
One sister can’t write anything down because it happens. She’s got sisters known for their beauty and her mother who speaks and things come true. With a family that’s well known for being magic, she’s pretty convinced that she’s the only one with no ability. Hero is everything you could want in a fairy-tale adventure.Saturday Woodcutter has a lot going on around her. There were plenty of moments that had me laughing.Īnother highlight is Betwixt, who I won’t say any more about because I think you need to read this book. The relationship between them is brilliant I liked the banter so much. Because Saturday is trapped in the mountain the story is more focused on her and Peregrine. What I loved about her remains but she became so much more.Īs with Enchanted you have an abundance of wonderful characters, humour and magic to keep you entertaining from start to finish. I thought there was a lot of character growth for Saturday in this story. Saturday is headstrong and desperate to prove her worth, so when she breaks the world and brings the ocean, Saturday has to make it right. Unlike her fey-blessed sisters she doesn’t have any magic, what Saturday does have is a destiny and a sword. Is Saturday powerful enough to kill the mountain witch who holds her captive and save the world from sure destruction? And, as she wonders grumpily, “Did romance have to be part of the adventure?” As in Enchanted, readers will revel in the fragments of fairy tales that embellish this action-packed story of adventure and, yes, romance.Ģ00words (or less) review: I think if I had to pick a favourite Woodcutter sister then Saturday would be her. With her sword in tow, Saturday sets sail on a pirate ship, only to find herself kidnapped and whisked off to the top of the world. Synopsis: Rough and tumble Saturday Woodcutter thinks she’s the only one of her sisters without any magic-until the day she accidentally conjures an ocean in the backyard.
