A retelling of the Grimm Brothers’ King Thrushbeard. Remembering many snowy days rereading the (indeed!) Grimm stories as a child and really liking the cover, I looked forward to reading this.
.
I enjoyed my time reading The Bard’s Bargain - the writing style worked well for me, I enjoyed Alexandra’s, the MFC character, evolution as a character, Tom (MMC), and the relationship growth between the two. The ending was a little rushed, but not enough to seriously detract from my reading happiness.
.
I would happily read a sequel to this if one is forthcoming, and will definitely read more of the author’s work.
