Jenny Greenteeth is a name that has haunted stories for generations. But few know what it actually means to be a Jenny Greenteeth. I am so excited to see this lore being explored! When a witch is thrown into Jenny Greenteeth’s pond, they couldn’t be more surprised to see each other. As Jenny and Temperance talk, they realize they have more in common than they realized. The two must work together with a goblin merchant to defeat the terrible evil that has invaded their town.
Greenteeth is an atmospheric and unputdownable tale. Molly O’Neill has crafted a tale of lesser known fae, the fae whose stories may not have been told before. I loved the lore of the Jennys! Jenny and Temperance have a beautiful friendship. I enjoyed how they found connection in motherhood and being underestimated. O’Neill’s writing is warm and charming. The witty banter between the characters is beautifully woven into the fae quest they undertake. Readers who enjoy T. Kingfisher, magical fae adventures, and found family will love this book. I can’t wait to read what Molly O’Neill writes next!
