Nightcat by Celesta Thiessen

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Last night I read the ebook novella Nightcat, the first installment in the "Kitty Castle" series by authors Celesta and Keziah Thiessen. I hadn't realized it was meant for a...shall we say 'younger audience' until I began reading it. I waffled over whether to count it or not, but it was chaptered, so I'm including it.

In this story, the princes and princesses of the realm (what realm, we don't know) are left in the care of their tutor while their parents, the king and queen, go forth in an effort to stop dragons from destroying the kingdom. When following their night cat (named, appropriately enough, Nightcat) one evening, the children discover the secret of night cats and dragons. Will it enable them to help save their kingdom?

So, yeah. The story was simplistic and didn't feature much in the way of characterizations or plot. I mean, it was cute, but not really what I had in mind when I downloaded it.

Favorite line: "I remember that she had lots of cats!"

I'll give it a generous score of three.
