The Wasp Queen by Julie Stielstra
An impulsive curse changes the course of the lives of several people, including the royal family. Some people have benefitted but some have not. Can they all figure out how to reverse the curse? And does everyone want to?
It is a fairytale. It is a fun story with a cast of interesting characters. The story moves fast and keeps your interest all the way through. I like the whole concept of it. There is someone to root for, someone to hate, and the conflicted character that you hope does the right thing in the end. The story was rather simple, in keeping with the fairytale feel. What let me down a little was the very convenient circumstance that came up without reason and disappeared when it was not needed any more (also without reason.) And the solution to the problem was simple and I knew it all along, as will most readers, while the characters seem unable to figure it out. But I still enjoyed the book. It is a fun. light read you will be able to finish in a day or two.
