The Book: The cup and the crown by Diane Stanley
First Impression: The cover is so enticing and pretty with Molly wearing a beautiful gown (so unlike the rags she wore in the first book). I noticed the mysterious raven on the cover of the book also – and I loved the raven’s part in the book. (he was my favorite character)
So Did You Like It? Yes! I read it really fast – all 344 pages.
The Story? Well, this story continues Molly’s adventures. She is not a scullery maid anymore. Now she is a Lady. King Alaric sends her out on a quest to find a loving cup. I have a pretty good feeling that Molly’s adventures have not stopped. There will probably be a 3rd book!
Do you have to read the books in order? Yes! I started reading The cup and the crown and had to return it and get the first book: The Silver Bowl.
Favorite part: When she flies.
