Domnall and the Borrowed Child

Sylvia Spruck Wrigley — 2015

The best and bravest faeries fell in the war against the Sluagh, and now the Council is packed with idiots and cowards. Domnall is old, aching, and as cranky as they come, but as much as he'd like to retire, he's the best scout the Sithein court has left. When a fae child falls deathly ill, Domnall knows he's the only one who can get her the medicine she needs: Mother's milk. The old scout will face cunning humans, hungry wolves, and uncooperative sheep, to say nothing of his fellow fae! PRAISE FOR DOMNALL AND THE BORROWED CHILD "Tastes like fairy wine; delightful and refreshing." — Ishbelle Bee, author of The Singular and Extraordinary Tale of Mirror and Goliath

Domnall and the Borrowed Child was a nice short story. This story seemed like it was based on a much larger work. I felt like there was a back story to these characters that I did not know about, although this did not affect the quality of the book. It was a short, cute story that seemed like it was a fairy tale. I felt like I could have read this story to a child and they would have benefited from it much more than I did. The story progressed well and I did not feel like it ended to soon or that it could have been pressed on further. I could see this novella turning into a full blown series with this just as a side story. Not a lot happens plot wise, but it was a cute enough story that a child would enjoy. It wasn't to scary and wasn't to confusing for a child to not understand. I enjoyed this book, but I wasn't so obsessed that I want to read all of Sylvia Spruck Wrigley's work. Keep up the great writing Sylvia! I enjoyed it! I would love to see this universe expanded on. Three out of five stars. I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.
