A Light In the Darkness
The Light in the Labyrinth - Wendy J. Dunn

Kate Carey is the daughter of Mary (Carey) Stafford, and niece to the queen of England. While she chaffs under her mothers care, angry at the world, she longs more than anything to be at court with her aunt, where she is sure that she will be more loved than she is at home. 
Mary Stafford wants nothing more to protect her daughter from the intrigue at court, but she is holding secrets of her own, that Kate knows nothing about. 
When Kate finally gets to court, she is blown away by the secrets and the scandal that seem to run rampant through the court. Her aunt is unhappy, and seems preoccupied with everything but her niece. Kate begins to wonder if coming to court was a good idea.
As life in the palace begins to calm to a norm, there are more issues that arise, and her aunt, Queen Anne begins to fear for her life. Factions at court are working to bring her aunt down, and Kate finds that her loyalty is pushed to new heights, defending and comforting her aunt. 
As the road for leads to the Tower for Anne Boleyn, Kate is more determined than ever to stick next to her aunt - until whatever the end might bring. 

Great read, and very enjoyable! This is one that will keep you engaged from page one. Definitely worth the read. While I am not a fan of the Tudor's, I enjoyed this book told from the perspective of a fourteen year old girl, while learning an entirely new way of life.


**I received an ARC from NetGalley for a fair and impartial review**Thank you NetGalley for the chance to read this book.

While its not a surprise to see magical creatures at this camp for hardcore lady-types, it's always fun to see which kind are going to stumble in. I loved meeting Seafarin' Karen and her attitude toward teamwork. It was great to see April trying so hard to recover from her faux-pas in the last set of issues. But seriously, who is supposed to keep a clear head when mermaids are around, especially those BA mermaids?

Anyway, this is another well done storyline that emphasizes everything that's important to the Lumberjanes and lets the girls of Roanoke cabin do awesome things together. I appreciate that the scenario is never perfect for all the girls and that most of them make some sort of error but at least one error proves fruitful. That's life. Without the magical creatures.

The Amazing Women exclaimed in these issues are:

Finally caught up! Well, as far as the collections will go. I have #25 to read, but it will have to stand alone..... and then I'll be forced to wait.

4 Stars, Buy it

 

The story line with the selkies continues.   Good story but not as hilarious as other issues but still really good. I’m getting used to the artist. Worth reading and buying.



Description from Amazon: When selkies hold Seafarin' Karen's boat hostage, the Lumberjanes will have to rely on the one person they aren't sure they trust: the Bear Woman.



Characters for my reference

 

April- Short red head girl

Jen- dark skinned camp counselor

Jo- tall kid

Mal: Dark haired girl with half shaved head

Molly: Blond haired girl

Ripley: Short brunet with headband around her head and blue streak in hair

Rosie- head of camp. Constantly calls Jen Jane. Very cool.

Diane- girl from another cabin at the camp, black hair Apparently the sister of Jo.

Bubbles- Molly’s raccoon hat who happens to be a live raccoon

Barney- Boy from boys camp that they run into a lot
