Another good Cellier fairy tale retelling with a little bit of romance and a dash of mystery. I love this series, how each book follows a different character, but they are all intertwined and beautifully lead to the next story. As a reader, you can tell how much thought Cellier has put into this world, even with little details. I loved the internal battle Cordelia had between the person she "should" be with because of looks and rank versus the person she was actually interested in and developing feelings for. Very good lessons throughout and especially at the end, which really reminded the reader of the fairy tale origin.
