The Noble Servant | Melanie Dickerson
4 posts | 9 read | 8 to read
She lost everything to the scheme of an evil servant. But she might just gain what she’s always wanted . . . if she makes it in time. The impossible was happening. She, Magdalen of Mallin, was to marry the Duke of Wolfberg. Magdalen had dreamed about receiving a proposal ever since she met the duke two years ago. Such a marriage was the only way she could save her people from starvation. But why would a handsome, wealthy duke want to marry her, a poor baron’s daughter? It seemed too good to be true. On the journey to Wolfberg Castle, Magdalen’s servant forces her to trade places and become her servant, threatening not only Magdalen’s life, but the lives of those she holds dear. Stripped of her identity and title in Wolfberg, where no one knows her, Magdalen is sentenced to tend geese while she watches her former handmaiden gain all Magdalen had ever dreamed of. When a handsome shepherd befriends her, Magdalen begins to suspect he carries secrets of his own. Together, Magdalen and the shepherd uncover a sinister plot against Wolfberg and the duke. But with no resources, will they be able to find the answers, the hiding places, and the forces they need in time to save both Mallin and Wolfberg? New York Times bestselling author Melanie Dickerson beautifully re-imagines The Goose Girl by the Brothers Grimm into a medieval tale of adventure, loss, and love.

I love how this author does fairytale retellings! I don‘t think The Goose Girl normally comes to mind as a popular fairytale, but this was an excellent ‘real world‘ twist on the original.

I've read a couple other Melanie Dickerson books and either I love them, or they are awful. This was one of the awful ones. The advanced copy I got was so full of spelling and grammatical errors that I stopped reading it and waited until it came out. Even then the story was boring and felt exactly like most of her other books. The characters were written so frustrating that I genuinely didn't care whether Lady Magdalyn actually got her title back
