She's wickedly good at straight-up murdering people, her skills are unparalleled and she essentially shows that the king's army is completely useless without this one teenage girl on their side. Persinette (which, gosh dang that's an awfully average YA name), enters this tournament in order to become the protector of the prince and break the curse upon her father. Symbolically.ΔΆ) All roles are technically symbolic until you're supposed to do something, right? Right away, you can tell the logic with this one isn't going to hold up. Which brings up two questions: 1) If it is truly symbolic, why not just pick someone and get it over with? Yet, we must have a symbolic sword-fighting tournament to pick special symbolic person who will hang out with the prince for the rest of his life. That the role of the Oath-Man is purely symbolic.unless they were to be attacked. The kingdom needs an Oath-man for the prince - somebody who is to protect the prince with their lives - and the king specifically say that they're only doing this out of tradition. "We are going to have a tournament.It is time we find you a protector."So we start this book with a tournament (sounds exciting, right? Just.be prepared for disappointment). That's right, it's another YA book chock full of teen tropes and tired writing. The only Golden Curse here is the bad writing. He hated her magic for making her an enemy of Gaule.
