Fairy Debt
Fairy Debt | Gail Carriger
6 posts | 7 read | 11 to read
"I knew it would all end in tears the moment I saw the hat."
Cups is a fairy with a problem. She can't grow wings because is she under a death promise to a local king. So she takes service at his castle as the Least Jester, hoping to earn her wings and learns a great deal about cupcakes, tea daemons, and Earth dragons along the way.
This a short comedic fairy tail, coming in at just under 5000 words (or about 10 pages). In it Gail gets up to her usual silly tricks, tea saturated prose, and food driven biting wit.

3/5⭐ A cute fairy tale but not particularly memorable.

This was an adorable short story. I saw it was leaving Prime Reading soon & figured why not! We follow fairy main character, Bella Fugglecups, or Cups for short. She goes toward the principality of Smickled-on-Twee to repay a debt to the king and finds herself helping Princess Goob. I would've liked a little more to their story, but this was cute and the whimsical names sound like things I'd name my pets, so 4 stars on this one!

I realized that my reading distractions have meant that I'm not fulfilling most of the bookish goals I set myself. I've resolved to correct this as much as possible by focusing more on the many ebooks I own. This is one of them - a short story about a fairy who grows into being a fairy (and provides fodder for the Brothers Grimm). #MountTBR

jpmcwisemorgan @ChasingOm Me too! I can't believe I bought this and didn't read it. I don't know what I was thinking. 7y

The closest thing I've had to a book haul recently is downloading these Gail Carriger short stories on my kindle app. Read them all within an hour and then I decided to request one of her books from the library. It's been a while since I read one. #latestbookhaul #junebookbugs
