![]() ![]() ![]() The kingdom’s only hope will lie with two young men raised worlds apart. When a mysterious fey stranger appears to save the king, he also carries a secret that could tear the royal family apart. In the ancient moors of Scotland, the king of Calidon lies on his deathbed, cursed by a ring that cannot be removed from his finger. The story takes place in Ancient Scotland so expect a more classic, almost-Shakespearish writing style. ![]() Nancy Springer has a very classic way of writing, and this is enhanced even more in The Oddling Prince because of the Old English that is used. This is not like present-day YA fantasy books. If you aren’t familiar with Nancy Springer’s writing, you might be a little confused when you read The Oddling Prince. Can you tell how I’m subtly (not-so-subtly) trying to push this book on you? Read it. It’s up on Goodreads already if you are interested. I will put up my review of the book on my blog soon. Morgan is a fascinating morally-gray character and it is still one of my favorite standalone fantasy books to this day. I loved her writing and the dark, atmospheric setting. It was one of the books that solidified my love for fantasy back in grade school before Harry Potter came out. If you didn’t know I absolutely love her book, I Am Morgan le Fay. It is about the King Arthur’s half-sister. When I heard that Nancy Springer was releasing a YA fantasy book, I was thrilled. ![]()
