A Goose Girl by K M Shea

A Goose Girl was a very interesting book to read. I hadn’t previously heard of the fairy tale The Goose Girl but loved the cover of this book, so was intrigued. So it was a whole new story to me without having any awareness of the similarly named fairy tale. Now that I’ve researched the fairy tale, it seems that A Goose Girl had a lot of the main concepts of the key story.

I really enjoyed reading about Falada, the talking horse. And the idea of the Princess and her hand maid, changing positions, for whatever reason was also interesting to read about. I loved Rynn’s story and how that was quite different to the fairy tale.

I really empathised with the position that she was put in and couldn’t talk herself out of. It was interesting to read how Rynn and Princess Davina’s relationship changed over the course of the novel. I also loved the relationship between Rynn, Geraint and Conrad and how that developed over time. And of course, how the story revolved around a goose girl within that particular town of Astoria.

This fairy tale was a delight to read. I thoroughly enjoyed K M Shae’s version or spin on the tale, and the main horse character who also happened to have a voice and could talk with the people around him.

It was a lovely read, interesting mixture of fantasy and magic and a delightful romance. I loved the ending and the way things worked out. A very amusing tale that was well worth the read.
