Domnall and the Borrowed Child

By Sylvia Spruck Wrigley
Domnall and the Borrowed Child by Sylvia Spruck Wrigley digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

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!

“This is a slight faerie story, based on changeling myths. It's okay, with decent characters, but it doesn't have quite enough charm to distract you from the fact that not a lot is going on here. It's disjointed and episodic, without much new to say on the themes. It is refreshing to see a changeling tale from the fae point of view, and Domnall is amusingly crotchety, which is just enough to make this worth your time. Give it a go if it sounds like your cup of tea, but don't expect much more than a mild distraction.”
“A fun and enchanting read, this was probably the shortest of the Tor Novellas that I read. The length fit the story however, as it was very much a self contained fairy tale. Though not the strongest that I've read from the line of novellas I still enjoyed it.”
