Simply entitled, The Cup, this is a cleverly plotted, magical adventure from the pen of Marieke Lexmond.

This is just as good with a wonderful mix of exciting settings (including Reykjavik – went there back in 2007; amazing place), fantastical, often a little eccentric, characters and a twisting/turning plot.
I must say, the author´s strength is her ability to develop her characters using speech. She seems to understand how important it is not just to ´tell´ the reader how a character is feeling, but ´show´ it in what they do and say. In this fantasy saga, the characters are everything; the glue that holds the story together. It´s worth reading just to get to know them!
All in all, this is a smashing magical adventure most readers will thoroughly enjoy. It gets a little muddled here and there, and there´s a lot of jumping around, but it´s skilfully plotted and packed full of suspense. I´m happy to recommend this novel – all of the novels, in fact – to anybody who enjoys character-led fantasy.
It´s addictive stuff!

I am a fan! This is the 4th book penned by Ms. Lexmond in The Madigan Chronicles fantasy series. This time we're transported from New Orleans and fairylands to mesmerizing Greenland. The magic of Ms. Lexmond's writing is being able to draw the reader into her world of imagination and make you travel with her to extraordinary places. Some dark, some much lighter.
And then there's the Madigan family, which every time draws me in with their witchcraft, tarots, and personal stories. Although one can read the books independently, I would suggest beginning with Book 1 to get the full experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
