Book Review: Twice Upon a Marigold

Twice Upon a Marigold is written by Jean Ferris and is the sequel to Once Upon a Marigold.

Summary:
It's a few years after Christian and Marigold's wedding/ Olympia falling in the river. Everyone in the kingdom is so much happier now that she's gone and everything is peaceful again. But, unbeknownst to them Olympia washed up on the shores of a small village, not knowing who she was at all. Actually she was quite nice.
Until the morning she wakes up and remembers everything. She storms back to the castle, intent on getting her kingdom back. And intent on making a bunch of people pay.

Profanity:
None.

Violence:
A woman is dropped from an elephant. She is thought to be dead.

Romance:
A few people want to marry one another. Christian and Marigold are in love.

Suggested Age:
9+

My Opinion:
It wasn't as good as the first one. It just... wasn't. I don't know why exactly. It was cute and charming.... but it wasn't as good. It was well written, but even the author said she only wrote the sequel because the readers asked for it. It was an afterthought. And it was obvious.
I mean, the plot was good.... but it was sort of bland for me.
But, give it a try... you just might like it.
