by T. Kingfisher

Our rating

Spice 0/5 Darkness 3/5

Spice: none. Darkness: dark.

Marra, the forgettable youngest princess, decides her sister's abusive prince husband has to die. To pull it off she builds a dog out of bones and picks up a disgraced knight, a dust-wife and a fairy godmother. Funny, grim, with a little romance at the edges.
