Lakwi wants to learn, she wants to access the palace library and discover history, geography and literature. But Lakwi is a princess and it is not for her to be spending time learning about such things. Her time is better spent weaving and learning how to socialise with the other ladies of the court.
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.

sweet Fantasy

Reviewed in Australia on 6 August 2017

Firstly Thanks to Jeanette for a copy of this book.

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.

Fun story with important theme

Reviewed in the United States on 4 February 2017

A fun story with an important theme. Lakwi is a believable hero, a child on the verge of adolescence struggling to find her place in an adult world. Her greatest hunger in life is for the knowledge that is denied her because she is a girl. This book makes me appreciate books all the more - a gift so easy to take for granted.

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.

that didn't make it bad by any stretch of the imagination

I'm definitely not in the target age group for this book but that didn't stop me from enjoying it. Lakwi is an endearing character, and although the story was fairly predictable, that didn't make it bad by any stretch of the imagination. I was scared for Lakwi when I knew she was heading into danger and held my breath while I waited to see what would happen. I look forward to reading more from this world.
