When Lakwi’s brother begins to smuggle books to her a new world opens up. Will her newfound knowledge be enough to prevent disaster or will Lakwi’s future resemble the tragic tales of the past that she is coming to love?
Jeannette O’Hagan has written a delightful short story set in the fantasy world of Nardva. Full of rich history and courtly intrigue readers get another glimpse of the wonderful world that O’Hagan is creating.
I enjoyed the story of Lakwi as I do like fantasy or this style of book. I loved them as a child and still enjoy reading them. What I found interesting is that while this book is set in an imaginary land I can see similarities to some of the places of years ago. I could see the different kingdom's as ruled by clans. We see Lakwi wants to go into the royal library and read the books and study like her brothers and cousin but that is not what girls do. They learn to needle work and weave etc.
Her half brother can see how much she wants to read the books and maybe able to help her. She is also being paid attention by her cousin Lord Haka. Being such a short story I can't say much more except Lakwi isn't the typical princess. I liked her spunk and how she thinks on her feet so to speak. My one complaint is the story wasn't long enough. I wanted to know what happens next and would gladly read more in the series.

In a very short space of time, this book presents a world that feels "lived in", and larger than the glimpse we see. The book drops a few hints toward the backstory of the larger Nardva world, without feeling shoe-horned in any way.
