Written by Sarah Prineas
In the book Ash & Bramble, the main character Pin wakes up and has no memory of anything. She soon learns that she is a seamstress destined to sew her life away for the Godmother. She meets a shoemaker, and together they try to escape their fates. The Godmother swoops in and puts Pin in a different part of the story to fulfill another destiny, and Shoe works to find her while she is meanwhile falling in love with the prince. The book is somewhat confusing when trying to figure out what the “story” is and it was weird that the Godmother was so evil. Overall, a pretty good book. Not sure if I would commit to reading an entire series though.
