Save:In "The Consolation Prize" by Alice Coldbreath, Princess Una, the daughter of the traitorous Northern King, is desperate to be free of her confinement at the Larsson court of King Wymer. Even the prospect of marrying Sir Armand Bussell, who is the loser of a tournament rather than the victor, does not put her off as it means freedom. From a very inauspicious start, Armand basically never disappoints her again, proving to be a very good husband. The story is charmingly told, and the writer has a gift of telling a tale plainly but still entertaining. The book takes a unique approach by starting after the marriage has taken place, allowing the couple to fumble and stumble through those first few weeks and months, making the reading enthralling and real.
