The Godmother's Apprentice Author:Elizabeth Ann Scarborough 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 res... more »pects 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« less
