Review

In this second installment of the Luck Uglies, Rye O'Chanter is declared an outlaw from her own village and she finds herself stuck on the strange remote island of Pest. Over time the island comes to feel much less remote and when the battle over the future of the Luck Uglies lands on the shoreline she finds her strength to fight.

With the same pacing and characterization as the first novel, Fork-Tongue Charmers delivers an action packed, page turning story. Characters are memorable and the reader will be transported to the vivid island of Pest, where Rye must rely on her wits to help save the Luck Uglies.

Readers of the Unwanteds series will enjoy this series as well.

Overall Book Score: excellent
