Melanie Dickerson “The Healer's Apprentice”
I have probably completed the longest fairy tale book I have read after "A Thousand and One Nights". Even if this genre has another name, I will continue to accept it as a fairy tale at the discretion of the reader. I did not come across any extra features, it is predictable, far from surprising and exciting, and is written in a clear and fluent language. Although the Middle Ages are mentioned as the period, interestingly I lost my sense of time there, there is something that grinds time that I cannot name, maybe it will come to my mind later. After I finished it, I thought about this: as someone who loves fairy tales, for me it was, how to put it, "lacking the splendor". Maybe I like fairy tales that are livelier, more fluid, more exaggerated. As for the premise, it is romantically based, but since it does not contain any immoral elements, it might be suitable for young adults aged 14-15. But I can't tell my peers to go and read it. My love be upon you
