Unlikely protagonist on a fairytale-like quest

Bewertungsnummer: 2407584

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)

What a wonderful standalone historical fantasy book with an unlikely protagonist, a fairytale-like quest and the question of what is good and what is bad, including a dash of the conflict between the old ways and the new. I listened to this as an audiobook and the narrator Catrin Walker-Booth was fabulous, giving all the characters unique voices and accents and bringing them to life. I loved Jenny as a protagonist because she is very much herself, with simple wants and needs, but open to leaving her comfortable life and helping others. She was portrayed so well throughout the book, always consistent with her nature and more than once with, from a moral standpoint, questionable views and decisions, but that's what made her seem real. I also loved the fun trio of adventurers who have to fulfill the quests at hand to defeat evil - in that way the book was very traditionally fairytale-like, even though their solutions might not always be. The only thing that nagged me a little was the pacing. At times it felt a little slow and it didn't always manage to hold my attention. There's also a little drama inbetween, which wasn't strictly necessary for the plot and annoyed me a little, but it was solved and thus bearable. Overall a wonderful book, especially the audiobook version was great. Everyone who loves historical fantasy combined with folklore and fae creatures, like in Gorse or The Bear and the Nightingale or T. Kingfisher books, will probably want to give this book a go as well, even though it's bit cozier and less dark. Thanks to Hachette UK Audio and Netgalley for the ARC!

Monstrous and fairy tale-like adventure

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)

Jenny Greenteeth is a mythical water creature that rarely engages with humans. The moment the local villagers decide to drown a witch in her lake, she has to change. The initial objective of returning the witch Temperance to her family evolves into a deeper commitment to defend the village, Jenny's lake, and potentially all of Britain from a malevolent mythical entity. The characterization of the mythical creatures was remarkable, particularly that of Jenny. I greatly appreciated her as a character; her bewilderment towards the world was conveyed with such endearing detail. The portrayal of Jenny and the Fae at court exuded a captivating sense of otherworldliness and monstrosity, contributing to a rich atmosphere of ancient, disconnected myths throughout the narrative. While the character development and the friendship between the two women were well executed. Sadly, it felt like all the other characters and relationships lacked depth. Overall, I found the book to be quite enjoyable, particularly due to its themes of female friendship and motherhood. I am eagerly looking forward to reading the next book by Molly O'Neill. Her work demonstrates a profound understanding and appreciation of folklore, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in myth retellings or fantasy with more relatable stakes.
