In medieval Timberwood, the royal prince and princess are about to be married. The scrolls (tabuloids) are filled with the wedding of the century. But then the bride, Riqa, is missing. Riqa is a great warrior and two local scullions (dishwashers in the royal castle) named Darlis and Mae, are both avid readers of her books, “The Fair Maiden’s Guide” volumes one and two, where they learn handy warrior tips. Darlis gets mistaken for Riqa and is kidnapped by troll siblings to be held for ransom. Mae tries to help Darlis, and together they have to combat capitalistic trolls to free themselves.
A modern medieval read filled with humor and wit, this book is a lot of fun. Darlis and Mae are great characters and the art is bright and colorful. A fast, fun read.
