Princess of the Silver Woods by Jessica Day George
3.0
This was not my favorite read of this series, though I did appreciate the wrap-up. This story was not a re-imagining of Red Riding Hood or Robin Hood, except in the presences of a red cloak and a coach robbery, both of which I found more insulting as a 'fairytale retelling' than anything else. This was an original story pretending to be something else.
Petunia is a great and entertaining character, and I liked that her sisters all played a part in this book, unlike the second book in this series. As this story wrapped up the series, I felt more and more like book 2 had nothing to do with the series overall, and I was event disappointed that Poppy's beloved played virtually no part in this book-I had liked him in the last book, so it felt like a loss.
I would recommend this book to those who have read the first two books in the series. I wouldn't recommend starting with this book, though it is a fun read, of sorts.
