Fantasy/spotify






I do like Kingfisher, and here we got a story of a healer who has studied poisons since she was a child. Or as she tells it, she studies how antidotes, but really it is poisons.




Then the King comes calling. He thinks some one is poisoning his child Snow, and you can not say no to a King. She is taken on a journey and soon meets Snow.




Something is strange is going on in that house. Something is wrong. The child is not healthy, but why and how? She is always watched.




I liked Anja. She likes what she does, she finds it interesting and when things does not work out she wants to know why. She befriends some people at the estate and tries her best to solve this problem. But something bigger is going on.




A good story, a fairytale that Kingfisher does so well.




The only bad part was that I listened to spotify, and my hours ended 1 hour! before the end. And I had to wait 10 days for more. Ugh, stupid spotify. Yes I know you can buy more, but for 1 hour, nah.




Great story. Great narration. I have so many more Kingfisher books before me and I do enjoy that.






Healer Anja regularly drinks poison. Not to die, but to save—seeking cures for those everyone else has given up on. But a summons from the King interrupts her quiet, herb-obsessed life. His daughter, Snow, is dying, and he hopes Anja’s unorthodox methods can save her.




Aided by a taciturn guard, a narcissistic cat, and a passion for the scientific method, Anja rushes to treat Snow, but nothing seems to work. That is, until she finds a secret world, hidden inside a magic mirror. This dark realm may hold the key to what is making Snow sick.




Or it might be the thing that kills them all.
