No Place for Magic (Tales of the Frog Princess, Book 4)

Emma and Eadric are finally ready to get married, but Eadric’s parents are not so sure about having a witch in the family! The two set out for Upper Montevista, Eadric’s homeland to try to make a case for their love, but first Eadric’s irritating little brother, Bradston, needs rescuing from some horrible trolls. In a charming twist on the classic fairy tale rescue story, E. D. Baker’s hilarious style succeeds in this story tailor-made for her emailing fans who have been demanding “Please can we see the wedding!?” VOYA When Emma and Eadric travel to Upper Montevista to get Eadric's parents' blessing on their marriage, there are a couple of problems. The first is that Emma is a witch, and Eadric's parents do not like magic. The other is that trolls have kidnapped Eadric's younger brother, and he must be rescued without using magic. She ends up using magic as well as a few clever unmagical tricks. Emma and Eadric have typical pre-wedding worries about each other as they fight trolls, cockatrices, vampires, and other magical creatures. They learn to work together and appreciate each other's strengths as they rescue Bradston. The happily-ever-after ending includes a wedding interrupted by trolls attacking the castle, and Eadric's parents accepting the worth of magic after all because it is the only thing that saves them from the trolls. This comedic tale meets all the requirements of the fairy-tale formula, but it is difficult for the reader to appreciate the story and know the characters without having read the other books in the Tales of the Frog Princess series. Characters and situations are presented with little explanation, limiting the appeal to those who have read the previous books in the series. Purchase if the others have circulated well.
