Fortune's Folly - Deva Fagan 2.5 - 3 stars

Fairytale-like story set in a vaguely Italian/ medieval sort of world where Saints are closer akin to deities and there is no God to speak of. Fortunata is the daughter of a once-skilled shoemaker fallen on hard times who ends up in the awful position of having to tell the fortune of the crown prince Leonato of Doma and it must come true or she and her father will be put to death.

So, she sets off to make sure the fortune comes true, yet things even she could never have engineered occur to help make the fortune be true....


And she falls in love with the prince. Although he must marry another to fulfill the prophecy!

A bit bland with not nearly enough of Leo & Nata getting to know one another/ talking, but overall pretty sweet and simple. Some menacing violence/ abuse to a secondary character. Etc.
