The Untold Tale (The Accidental Turn, #1)

Posted on by

Forsyth Turn is not a hero Lordling of Turn Hall and Lysse Chipping, yes Spymaster for the king, certainly But hero That s his older brother s job, and Kintyre Turn is nothing if not legendary However, when a raid on the kingdom s worst criminal results in the rescue of a bafflingly blunt woman, oddly named and even oddly mannered, Forsyth finds his quaint, sedentary life is turned on its head.Dragged reluctantly into a quest he never expected, and fighting villains that even his brother has never managed to best, Forsyth is forced to confront his own self shame and the demons that come with always being second best And, than that, when he finally realizes where Lucy came from and why she s here, he ll be forced to question not only his place in the world, but the very meaning of his own existence.Smartly crafted, The Untold Tale gives agency to the unlikeliest of heroes the silenced, the marginalized, and the overlooked It asks what it really means to be a fan when the worlds you love don t resemble the world you live in, celebrates the power of the written word, challenges tropes, and shows us what happens when someone stands up and refuses to remain a secondary character in their own life.

in Pip, the frustration of those on the outside of it The choice of Forsyth as a POV character goes a long way toward deconstructing expectations of fantasy protagonists not only the idea of the Kintyre esque soldier hero, but also the unruffled wizard type that has gainedpopularity in recent years.Pip is interesting in many,extrapolative ways, because she is not given POV time and because she remains largely inscrutable to Forsyth for much of the novel In his early adoration, he tries to put her on a lovely maiden pedestal, but she constantly demands that he remember that she is a person on his level Her frustration with he...This feminist fantasy pulls apart the classic fantasy quest and exposes it for what s really going on a lack of diversity and a mountain of clich s With a innovative plot about Pip being brought into her favourite book series and realising how misogynistic the author has created the world, The Untold Tale turns fantasy on its head We get to follow a different kind of protagonist, Forsyth, who is used to being overlooked and downtr...I can definitely say, I didn t see this one coming and I wouldn t have missed it for the world J.M Frey s THE

started reading The Untold Tale I wasn t sure what to expect My biggest fear, knowing that many other reviewers have called it a feminist book, was that it was going to unnecessarily hit me over the head with feminist preaching Though there were definitely very open feminist moments, it was well written, well timed, and well said Did it cover every aspect of the feminist spectrum No, but covering everything is honestly a lot to expect for one book to do and the fact that The So when I first started reading The Untold Tale I wasn t sure what to expect My biggest fear, knowing that many other
