![]() ![]() In Salisbury’s world, after a person dies, their sins must be eaten before their soul can be set free. I think this summary actually leaves out my favorite part of the book, which is the profession of Twylla’s mother: Sin Eater. Lief is funny, charming, handsome, AND he doesn’t treat Twylla like a terrifying monster. As you might have guessed, Twylla’s life isn’t awesome, but it improves somewhat with the arrival of Lief, her new guard. To make things even more fun, she’s constantly at the mercy of the Queen, who can only be described as diabolical. ![]() She’s engaged to the prince, who is immune to the poison in her touch, but she’s only met him a couple of times. ![]() Her touch is poison, and it is her responsibility to mete out punishment to traitors of the kingdom. Seventeen-year-old Twylla lives at court as Duanen Embodied, the living embodiment of a goddess. The Sin Eater’s Daughter by Melinda Salisbury was a thoroughly enjoyable read - one of my favorites recently. ![]()
