Summary from GoodReads:

As the seventh daughter of the Sea King, Ekaterina has a wonderful life–but also a lot of responsibility. Her special gift for moving around on land made her the perfect emissary from her father to check out interesting happenings on the surface. In short, she became the family spy.

On one such reconnaissance mission, she encounters Sasha–the seventh son of the king of Belrus. Though everyone sees his talent as music, they also consider him a fool. Ekaternia suspects something more powerful lies behind his facade. But before she can find out what, Ekaterina is kidnapped!

Carried off by a whirlwind and trapped in a castle with other kidnapped princesses at the mercy of a possessive Jinn, Ekaterina knows her chances of being found are slim. Which means that fortune, a fool and a paper bird are the only things she can count on. Oh, and of course her own clever mind and manipulative abilities….

My Review:

Yet another fun book in what’s turning out to be a favorite series of mine.  In Fortune’s Fool, the story of a Songweaver, the Seventh Son and Fortune’s Fool is told – along with the story of the 14th daughter of The Sea King.

It’s fun seeing the different cultures being explored – this was easily identified as Russia and there were some fantastic creatures introduced.  And once again, my favorites.. the Unicorns.  Oh, they make me laugh so much.

While I didn’t like this book as much as I liked the first two, it still is a solid story – I think there was just a little too much mooning going on (the wooing kind, not the drop your pants kind).  Mercedes Lackey introduces a few more mythical creatures and they are a blast to see develop and, of course.. the Unicorns.

Fun, fun books!
