Please follow this instance’s posted rules of conduct.

This community is inspired by but not connected r/ebookdeals on Reddit.

Its purpose is for readers to share deals that they find on the web for ebooks through well-known retailers. Additionally, if you are an author and have an interest in posting a notice when you have a price drop coming up, please feel free to let us know, and we can include yours as well. Please avoid self-promotional posts without first contacting somebody on the community management team.

Spam, referral, shortened, and affiliate links are not allowed as this is not a community designed to allow members or mods to make money on their deal findings. Links must be as close to vanilla hyperlinks as possible for the retailer. Links must be cleaned or trimmed of tracking information or when posting or they will be removed.

Please limit posts to time-limited discounts of non-public domain items. Books that are at a permanently low price are great, but not appropriate for this community. The same goes for republishings or cleanups of public domain books.

This isn't the kind of fairy tale where the princess marries a prince.

It's the one where she kills him.

Marra — a shy, convent-raised, third-born daughter — is relieved not to be married off for the sake of her parents’ throne. Her older sister wasn’t so fortunate though, and her royal husband is as abusive as he is powerful. From the safety of the convent, Marra wonders who will come to her sister’s rescue and put a stop to this. But after years of watching their families and kingdoms pretend all is well, Marra realizes if any hero is coming, it will have to be Marra herself.

If Marra can complete three impossible tasks, a witch will grant her the tools she needs. But, as is the way in stories of princes and the impossible, these tasks are only the beginning of Marra’s strange and enchanting journey to save her sister and topple a throne.

T. Kingfisher is hands down one of my favorite writers at the moment. Her books are filled with fantastic and creative worlds that aren’t always just the same tropes in different ways.

I read this a month ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.
