4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 23 ratings

The King's Niece is an inspirational fantasy set in a medieval-like world.
Robbie is the king's niece, but she has never met her uncle. In fact, she's forbidden from leaving the eastern lands of Penrith to journey to the west where the royal palace is. Until, that is, her cousin and best friend Margo, the king's daughter Princess Margaret Rose, asks her to. The two had spent the last six years together at convent school, and now that Margo was of age to marry and was called to return to the palace, she wanted Robbie with her. Neither of the two young women have any idea of the threats that lay over Margo's head from the notorious Maulds people, whose chieftan wants her throne.

Reviewed by K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite - 5 Stars
The King's Niece is a work of medieval-style fantasy written in novella format and penned by author Isabella Berdyna Zysk. Set in Castle Penrith, a name inspired by the historical setting of Cumbria, this pseudo-historical tale recounts the exploits of kings of neighboring lands, as told through the eyes of their younger generation. As the renegade Maulds seek to destroy the relationships between the kings and take those lands for themselves, we meet a young woman called Robbie who has never set foot outside her lands in the east of Penrith. But when Margo, her dearest friend and the king's daughter, demands that Robbie should accompany her as she heads towards marriage, Robbie sets off on a journey of discovery like no other.

Author Isabella Berdyna Zysk has created a truly engaging and page-turning novella that can be read and enjoyed on a cozy afternoon. The medieval atmosphere of the piece can be found in lively description and engaging imagery of warriors and kings in the age of chivalry. This, however, does not overwhelm the story but complements a heartfelt and emotional tale which is much more about the bond between Margo and Robbie than anything that the cruel world throws at them. The dialogue is accessible but not overly modern, and the description and close narration of Robbie, in particular, gives us a deep connection to her feelings and experiences. Overall,
The King's Niece is a wonderful slice of medieval life and interpersonal drama that is certain to please fans everywhere.

An enjoyable medieval fantasy read as we meet an orphan named Robbie who escorts us through this tale. When the Kings own daughter comes to stay at the Convent to be schooled due to the King's re-marriage to a young maiden. Robbie and Margaret discover their cousins and their family’s sordid past. When it is time for Margaret to return to the palace to be married Margaret implores Robbie to come with her. Hiding her family red locks Robbie gives in posing as Margaret’s personal servant.

The King’s Champion Sir Cadwalder is sent to bring Margaret back to the palace. Robbie’s instincts instantly grow suspicious of him. Then at the place, Robbie catches Sir Cadwalder secretly meeting someone at the water's edge. What is he up to? Why is Margaret’s betrothed keep backing down? When the Prince of Keswick arrives for Margaret’s initial wedding, he is then asked to receive Margaret’s hand. The danger then ensures as Sir Cadwalder's deviousness is revealed. Can love be found amongst the chaos?

Not my normal genre I found this book quite enjoyable. The author pulled me in this adventurous tale of secrets and medieval espionage set among Kings, Queens, and kingdoms.

This was a good, old-fashioned story with definite heroes , princesses and villains! Throw in a happily ever after ending and it put a smile on my face. The plot is simple and fairly predictable, but sometimes that's the kind of book you need.

I really enjoyed this story. It is interesting and kept my attention. It is clean and wholesome. It has no bad language, no graphic sexual content. It has some violence but nothing too graphic. It is suitable for both teenagers and adults. It is written from a Christian worldview but is not overtly Christian. It has a happy ending with closure.

7/10 There's nothing groundbreaking or profound in this set of medieval novels from this author but they're well written and the characters live and breathe realistically within the pages. It's kind of like an after-school special. The plot is familiar and you can guess how things are going to wrap up in the end but it's still entertaining while it's happening.
