If you are a romance reader and you want one with some unsavory aspects and some disturbing creatures, you will no doubt love this book. Sadly I get hung up on romance books and let it color my overall appreciation of a story. The last real wizard in Oblya lives with his three witchy daughters and exploits their powers.
The daughters are rebellious. Undine and Rose appear beautiful while
Marlinchen is the ugly duckling who is unfairly selected to be her father’s
servant. The time and setting seem to be
in a pre-industrial revolution in Russia with the move from large landholders
to city industry.
Marlinchen discovers a love interest
and things get complicated.
The book abounds with lies, treachery,
deceit, and love.
Romance readers should love it, me
not so much.
