Nettle & Bone, by T. Kingfisher Synopsis: A princess undertakes a quest to save her sister from a marriage to a lethally abusive king. Book Review: Another well-done basic story. Our heroine Marra undertakes the classic Campbellian Hero’s Journey using a slightly modernized fairy tale setting. Refusal of the call, mentor, descent to underworld, it’s all there, and it’s done very well. The story flows smoothly, the prose is easy to read and in many places beautiful, the characters are extremely likable, and the whole thing is enjoyable!
