Nobody Asked Me!: 1 - Tapa blanda

A fitting finish to Tanith's tale, rounding up loose ends, and also providing an entirely new setting for her to inhabit. Everyone is fascinated by the legends of King Arthur and Camelot, and this is a great new take on the old story. Gwenhwyfar is a spoiled brat, mostly ignored by Arthur, who is ageing and unobservant, while Lancelot is terrified of the Queen's attentions. Into the middle of this falls Tanith, who has to hide her magical skills while waiting to be rescued. Her fantastical situation is complemented by a very real-life problem namely, her rage at being taken for granted by her boyfriend, who expects her to marry him without having a proper proposal! The charmingly chatty style brings us firmly into the story. Tanith talks to the reader like an old friend a style which has grown more popular since The Princess Diaries (although I think Sullivan was doing it first!) This will appeal to teenage girls, and, although there are a lot of other books in the series, it is not necessary to have read them to enjoy this one. I enjoyed it so much, I read it all in one go! The cover is fantastic too! A recommended read.

Nothing to worry about? Dim problem! Tanith cannot believe her ears! Merlin announces abruptly that it s time for the Dragonking and Dragonqueen of Ynys Haf to marry. But when Gwydion Dragonking mentions the wedding and a misbehaving wolf in practically the same breath, his future queen is seriously miffed and decides on a quick trip home to Mam!
