Our librarians and children's book specialists' highest rated titles of the week.
A tale of two sisters - Ceridwen is lovely, romantic, timid - everything that her sister Sabrina is not. When Ceridwen vanishes into the woods, Sabrina goes in pursuit of her, into a decaying world of macabre fairies and monsters. And when an annoyingly handsome fairy prince offers her a dangerous deal, Sabrina is forced to put her own freedom at risk to save her sister.
This is a tale of an unconventional (often grumpy) heroine on a quest that weaves in a wealth of Welsh mythology and local history that's all beautifully described but also somehow manages to be an accessible, punchy read. The romantasy element rather than dragging things down or becoming cliched is only one aspect of a complex and nuanced story. Her story also engages with strong themes of family, identity, sibling rivalry, community and the horror of disaster befalling a mining community in 19th century rural Wales. The writer is truly steeped in her love for fairy tales, romance and her own Welsh culture which is all richly described and wholly gripping here.
