A retelling that fails | The Kingdom is a Golden Cage by Lilly Inkwood

I think that this episode is going to be a surprise, if only because every once in a while a book comes along that isn't what you expected...

But if that's because it's good or not I am not going to reveal here...you'll have to listen to find out.

Following in the footsteps of authors like Sarah J Maas and Kalynn Baylon comes Lilly Inkwood, to provide us with an unusual reimagining of a lesser-known fairytale, that of Puss in Boots (did you know the story, because I didn't). In The Kingdom is a Golden Cage, we are told the story of Princess Celine, the cat Hugo and the Duke, who is not a duke, Philippe...but is this story about love, deception, or perhaps a little bit of both?

Join me to find out which side of the fence I stand on!
