Other Versions of this Book: Hardcover
Book Description:
The sequel to The Godmother (1994) takes Snohomish Quantrill, heroine of that tale's "Snow White" plot and now in training to be a godmother, to Ireland. Beginning her training, she is promptly plunged into Ireland's troubles, which here involve both human and nonhuman forces. Quite as charming as its predecessor, the sequel is in many other respects superior. Snohomish's further development makes her a more interesting protagonist, and Scarborough mixes folklore, adventure, atmosphere, psychology, and whimsy into a thoroughly absorbing plot. The romance will not only win readers on its own, but also send them back to The Godmother if they have not already read it. -- Roland Green, Booklist

It took me awhile to fall into Snos' use of language, but once I did the story was tight, easy to follow and very, very interesting. I think there was a "prequel" but I haven't read it - this did NOT detract from the story in any way.
Not quite as gritty as The Godmother, but a satisfying book all on its own. Intruiging combination of urban fantasy and Irish history.
From the back cover:
A very modern fairy godmother takes a young girl under her wing in The Godmother's Apprentice.
Dear Rosie,
Well, here I am. Ireland is beautiful, and Felicity Fortune's house is pretty nice. There's something weird about the pool, though, and the cat talks to me. I'm not kidding. Felicity has turned out to be an odd one too. She keeps disappearing, and I could have sworn I saw her dancing at the bottom of that pool. (Sigh.) I just wish I could get started on this godmothering stuff...
Sno Quantrill will soon get her wish. And the adventure of a lifetime...
This twisted, modern fairy tale is a lot of fun, like all the ones in the series. Elizabeth Ann Scarborough's writing shines with intelligence, compassion, and some hysterical scenes! A great read!
