The Salamander Spell (Tales of the Frog Princess) Review
In this prequel to the Tales of the Frog Princess, Grassina is a young princess-in-training. But as the younger sister to Princess Chartreuse, Grassina is not expected to do much beyond behave herself. When a terrible spell stops her mother from being the good Green Witch, and the Kingdom of Greater Greensward seems to teeter on the brink of terror, Grassina sets off on an errand in the swamp and comes back with some surprises for everyone, including skills that only Chartreuse is supposed to have. Soon it is clear that Grassina has begun to find her own way to the magic she thinks she’ll never have, and luckily for Greater Greensward, the audaciousness—and the ability—to save the kingdom itself. User Submitted The Salamander Spell (Tales of the Frog Princess) ReviewsAugust 2, 2008 Worth A Read The Salamander Spell is a child apropriate novel about Princess Grassina's life turning upside down and inside out after her mother, Queen Olivine, turns into a nasty, ugly witch, her father dying, and Grassina trying to become powerful enough to keep Greater Greenswood safe. It also explains why Princess Chartreuse, the future Queen, chose Prince Limelyn as her husband, but does not say anything about why olivine turned Haywood into an otter. The only thing that bugged me about the book was the fact that Grassina and Haywood got a little too mushy torwards the end of the book. This is one of best books in The Tales of the Frog Princess and definately worth a read. July 2, 2008 The Salamder Spell If you have read the other books in E.D. Baker's seires the Frog Princess then you will love this book. It gives you a better discription of what happened durning Grassina's childhood. And if you are just starting this series then you would like to read this book first because it explains a lot of the relationships that are skippped over in the other books. April 22, 2008 A Great Book!!! This book was the best one out of the series. It's about Grassina instead of Emma... It starts out slower,but gets so good! November 22, 2007 Prologue!(HELL YEAH!!!) I ordered this book w/out even giving it a second thought, cuz the series is such a great one, and to find that its a prologue was even better!!!! i can't get enough of E.D. Baker's words!!!!!!!!!! + the covers are really amazing (i know... i know!!! never judge a book by it's cover!!!) September 22, 2007 Awesome book! The Salamander Spell was a great book! Just make sure that you read the other 4 books, first, so you understand everything. August 22, 2007 Courtesy of Teens Read Too No, this is not a story about Princess Emeralda and Prince Eadric. This new story, which is a prequel to THE TALES OF THE FROG PRINCESS, visits Princess Emeralda's aunt....as a teenager! Living in Greater Greensward with her mother, father, and sister, Chartreuse, Grassina is not expected to do much. Chartreuse was first born, which means she will be both Queen and Green Witch. All Grassina is expected to do is to marry a prince. When the King gives their mother a bouquet of flowers the family curse turns her into a nasty hag and also disperses of her Green Witch title. Now Greater Greensward has no Green Witch to protect them. While doing a meaningless task for her mother, Grassina hears word of werewolves invading towns and nearing Greater Greensward. With no Green Witch, who will stop them? Its up to magic-less Grassina, runaway Haywood, and a snake named Pippa to save the kingdom. As a fan of THE TALES OF THE FROG PRINCESS, i thought this was a good prequel. The book reads smoothly and gives Grassina more personality than that which we already knew. If you read the books released before THE SALAMANDER SPELL you know the outcome, but nevertheless it's a good read.
