The Pied Piper's little sister is determined to rat out the truth behind her brother's bad behavior-and save the children of Hamelin! The third book in the Sisters Ever After series, perfect for anyone who loves fairy tale retellings about sisters and magic! " The Piper's Promise is one of those rare books I will gladly read over and over again and love it more every time." -New York Times Bestselling author Jennifer A. Nielsen Clare's brother, Tom, also known as the pied piper, has stolen away the children of Hamelin. But Clare knows that's only half the story. Tom isn't the easiest person to love, but she's certain that he couldn't be so cruel. There has to be a good reason why he stole the Fae Queen's magic pipe and led the children to a faraway land, never to be seen again. Together with Anna, the mayor of Hamelin's daughter, Clare embarks on a journey into the Faerie Realms. In order to succeed, she will have to dodge faerie traps and stay out of the evil Rat Prince's claws. Only she can save the children of Hamelin and clear her brother's name. But who will she have to betray to do it?
This is a Fantasy Middle Grade, and this is the third book in the Sisters Ever After series. I have read and reviewed the first two books in this series before reading this book. I do think this book can be read as a standalone without any problems. This is a re-telling of The Pied Piper which I had never heard before reading this book. I think I had a hard time figuring out what was going on because I did not know the Pied Piper story, and I also do not normally read books with fairies in them. I did not connect with the story or the characters. I found parts of this book to be hard to follow. I finished reading this book, and I liked the ending. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
