I loved this story!  Eleanor is essentially "Cinderella" and getting married to the Prince of her dreams.  However, right before they get married she discovers he's not exactly who she thought he was.  His best friend, Dorian, is everything that Prince Gregory is not.  The evil step-mother is still a prominent figure in this story as well.  I loved the unicorns. My favorite character comes in the form of a "no-filter" parrot called ShuShu.  He's absolutely hilarious and brought such a bright light to the story.  How will the love triangle unfold?  Will Step-mother get what she's always wanted?

The story flowed beautifully and the narrator did an amazing job at creating wonderful voices for each character.  Very whimsical and enrapturing!
