Today on the blog tour for The Mirror King I have Jodi Meadows guest posting The ABCs for Wilhelmina. Wil is a pretty straightforward girl that has some items that you know are her as soon as you see them. Welcome Jodi (and by extension, Wil) to the blog.
Accessory: Daggers.
I mean, Wilhelmina already has daggers, but what girl doesn’t need more weapons? Wil’s current daggers are perfectly serviceable, and she’s pretty attached to them, given all they’ve been through together, but if she were to have new daggers, perhaps they’d have fine ebony hilts, some sort of design etched into the tang and up into the blade. It would, perhaps, be ospreys in flight. Oh, and they’d be sharp.
Book: A new blank notebook.
Wil likes to read, sure, but she also likes to write. And by write, I mean she likes to steal handwriting and practice using it. Why not in a nice notebook? But Wil also keeps a diary, and the one she’s been using since she was young is getting pretty full. She deserves a new one after all this time. The main requirement for this is that the notebook have really nice paper. Wilhelmina is definitely a paper snob.
Clothes: A cloak.
So, the cloak on the cover of THE ORPHAN QUEEN was never actually in the book. And on THE MIRROR KING cover there are two cloaks, so in THE MIRROR KING I actually do give Wil a cloak. Clearly she wanted one. But for sneaking purposes, rather than cover purposes, Wil would probably like a black or dark gray cloak. Something to help her blend into the night.

Wilhelmina has a hundred enemies.
HER FRIENDS HAVE TURNED. After her identity is revealed during the Inundation, Princess Wilhelmina is kept prisoner by the Indigo Kingdom, with the Ospreys lost somewhere in the devastated city. When the Ospreys’ leader emerges at the worst possible moment, leaving Wil’s biggest ally on his deathbed, she must become Black Knife to set things right.
HER MAGIC IS UNCONTROLLABLE. Wil’s power is to animate, not to give true life, but in the wraithland she commanded a cloud of wraith mist to save herself, and later ordered it solid. Now there is a living boy made of wraith—destructive and deadly, and willing to do anything for her.
HER HEART IS TORN. Though she’s ready for her crown, declaring herself queen means war. Caught between what she wants and what is right, Wilhelmina realizes the throne might not even matter. Everyone thought the wraith was years off, but already it’s destroying Indigo Kingdom villages. If she can’t protect both kingdoms, soon there won’t be a land to rule.
In this stunning conclusion to THE ORPHAN QUEEN, Jodi Meadows follows Wilhelmina’s breathtaking and brave journey from orphaned criminal on the streets to magic-wielding queen.

This is perfect! One of my favorite things is the series is her practicing handwriting (I’m such a nerd). Definitely fabulous choices all around for Wil!
Ah, I love the daggers! that’s a weird item that we collect hahaha and I do wish I had a cloak, too!
I still need to read these books! (I actually own the orphan Queen and I’m excited to get to it!) Those daggers are super pretty — you’ve gotta love a girl who loves her daggers! And I am really a sucker for pretty cloaks too! I wish they were a thing in everyday life.
This is awesome! I have The Orphan Queen just waiting to be read, and now I KNOW I need to get going on it 🙂
How very Wil to have daggers as her accessory. Lindsay, I wish I could steal people’s handwriting too. Is this the part where I mention I own a cloak and you all make fun of me for it? Well, I have a cloak.
I haven’t started the series yet but I heard so many fantastic reviews and they have me super excited. Thanks for a chance to maybe win a book of The Mirror King.
These choices are SO Wil. Like I honestly can’t imagine her NOT choosing any of them! 🙂
