Tales of the Frog Princess, Book Four: No Place for Magic | E.D. Baker

Rating:

Picking up where we left off in Once Upon a Curse, all is relatively well with Princess Emma’s life. She’s cured the family curse, she’s now the Green Witch, her Aunt and her sweetheart Haywood are reunited, and she has her own true love, Eadric. Her only remaining problem is trying to winner over his parents, who are not at all fond of magic, and therefore not at all fond of her.

On her mother’s orders, the two take a caravan to Upper Montevista, Eadric’s Kingdom, Emma trying her best to seem normal along the way. Easier said than done, when your traveling companions are a bat and a crab and your friend Ralf the dragon drops by to give you some news. Still, they make it to Upper Montevista in one piece and without many mishaps. Whereupon they find that Eadric’s brother Bradston has been kidnapped.

Using her far-seeing ball, Emma is able to conclude that the Troll’s have Bradston. And while his mother is loathe to have anything to do with magic, she must admit that Eadric will need Emma’s help. And so the two set off.

Along the way they encounter the trolls themselves, cockatrices, a banshee, a town of vampire bats, and some more trolls. Needless to say, not the easiest adventure they’ve set off on. But they do manage to retrieve Bradston, and return home to find that their wedding has been approved and will be happening the next day. Happily ever after, after all?
