What Thou Need'st
Synopsis:
Kendall Thatcher, a dutiful squire, thinks he's seen the worst of his master, the irascible Prince Bartholomew. However, things can indeed get worse; much worse.
When the Prince runs away, a princess from a neighboring kingdom vanishes, a dragon takes up residence in an abandoned castle, and two kingdoms near the brink of war; all this can be resolved only when Kendall and the Prince discover "what thou need'st"
Bethany Canaan, from Clever Bunnies, recently wrote this novelette and published it online at Snippits. I really enjoyed its fairy tale story line and biblical moral. It made for a lovely afternoon's read. Although it's based off of a common plot, it has enough variation to be delightful, not repetitive. My only complaint is that a few questions were left unanswered. The story line is positioned in such a way so you know how things will end up, but I'm just one of those people who prefer to be told. Overall, I really enjoyed how her book grabbed me with the first chapter, her description, and the creative twist on a common fairy tale plot. I extremely recommend this book for avid readers like me looking for delightful, clean, and gripping books. I wish more books like this were out there.
