About the book:
Title: Wishtress
Author: Nadine Brandes
Genre: Inspirational Young Adult Fantasy
She didn't ask to be the Wishtress.
Myrthe was born with the ability to turn her tears into wishes. It's a big secret to keep. When a granted wish goes wrong, a curse is placed on her: the next tear she sheds will kill her. She needs to journey to the Well and break the curse before it claims her life--and before the king's militairen track her down. But in order to survive the journey, she must harden her heart to keep herself from crying even a single tear.
He can stop time with a snap of his fingers.
Bastiaan's powerful--and rare--Talent came in handy when he kidnapped the old king. Now the new king has a job for him: find and capture the Wishtress and deliver her to the schloss. But Bastiaan needs a wish of his own. When he locates Myrthe, he agrees to take her to the Well in exchange for a wish. Once she's fulfilled her end of the deal, he'll turn her in. As long as his growing feelings for the girl with a stone heart don't compromise his job.
They are on a journey that can only end one way: with her death.
Everyone seems to need a wish--the king, Myrthe's cousin, the boy she thinks she loves. And they're ready to bully, beg, and even betray her for it. No one knows that to grant even one of them, Myrthe would have to die. And if she tells them about her curse . . . they'll just kill her anyway.

My Thoughts
Nadine Brandes did an amazing job with this book. She created a world that I could visualize and be apart of.
I loved that Myrthe had a disability. Especially, not being able to walk easily. That was me just a few years ago so I could not only relate to her it made me cheer for her all the more.
Ms. Brandes’s note at the end of the book brought tears to my eyes.
Not sure how I feel about the ending. I hope she writes a sequel.
