Twice Upon a Marigold, Jean Ferris



Today I just finished reading Twice Upon a Marigold by Jean Ferris. I really loved this book. After the first novel which is much more of a romantic love story than this one, this book was an action thriller. After Queen Olympia fell into a river and knocked her head on a rock, she forgot she was a Queen and renamed herself Angie while living in a small town of Granolah downriver from Beaurivage, the town in which she fell in the river. This Queen Olympia was a horrible tyrant and when she regains her memory it's back to her old ways and it's up to the newlyweds Christian and Marigold to stop it. The problem is they're having a lot of fights whether it's over knock-knock jokes or something even weirder. However, it's still up to them to stage a rebellion before the King, Magnus, and Christian's father Edric are hung in the town square on market day. However, even after Olympia is defeated a battle rages inside the Queen's head. Will the tyrant Olympia win in all her evil ways or the sweet and lovable Angie? It's yours to find out.
TIP: It's better to read the first book in this series "Once Upon a Marigold" than start in this book so you have the background knowledge, but if you can't find that book or aren't interested this book can be started here.
