A review by marjories
Lord of the Castle by Angela J. Ford
5.0
A shield-maiden whose calling is to protect those who can not protect themselves is tasked to be a killer. The monster she is commanded to kill is a lord beloved by his people. At the edge of the Enchanted Wildwood, things don't always follow the paths expected in the civilized world. The night of Sahmain is fast approaching and neither Murial nor Lord Cedric will escape it unchanged.
This story is reminiscent of Beauty and the Beast in a twisted, upside down, through the looking glass sort of way. There are elements from the traditional tale, such as the whispering spirits, the scarred Lord, and the vicious mob but not in the way they are traditionally used. A story of redemption and purpose in a broken world. There is romance and it does get steamy at the end.
This is the third book in the Enchanted Wildwood series. These are standalone books in a shared world. This book takes place after the first two books, and reading them adds depth to your understanding of the Wildwood, but this book can be enjoyed without reading the previous two and has a satisfying conclusion.
