A review by ftrebelo
The Princess and Curdie by George MacDonald

4.0

Although MacDonald returns to many of the same characters from [b: The Princess and the Goblin|444381|The Princess and the Goblin (Princess Irene and Curdie #1)|George MacDonald|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1348689290s/444381.jpg|3193161], this book shifts tone and is much more conscious of being allegorical. Curdie is given a vague quest where his faith tested several times, and he is given the gift to tell from people's hands whether they are becoming beasts.

Reading it directly after [b: The Princess and the Goblin|444381|The Princess and the Goblin (Princess Irene and Curdie #1)|George MacDonald|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1348689290s/444381.jpg|3193161] made the difference between the two all the more apparent, but overall I enjoyed it and look forward to reading more of George MacDonald.
