Why read it?

1 author picked The Dark Lord's Daughter as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Patricia C Wrede is one of my all-time favorite authors, so I was excited when she released a new book. Wrede's characters are always fun--smart, snarky, with strong viewpoints. I'm not even the target audience (it's a middle grade book), but I always love her writing. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun, light fantasy that can be read in a few hours or days.
