This was a cute little side story to the Andari world and it was nice to see a shorter romance that still bloomed over time.

I liked the story because I love fairy tales and that stuff lol but the writing style was not my thing
There were a lot of old words who no one ever uses and because English isn’t my first language I had a hard time to follow sometimes

A short and sweet read! I loved the banter between Lizbet and Caspar. It’s a very loose retelling of the Princess and the Frog- for one thing there’s not technically a frog-frog (y’know, an actual animal) but the essence of it is there. I liked how the characters are different from your stereotypical YA leads- Caspar’s hair is graying, and Lizbet is taking care of her two nephews.
This is the first book I’ve read of the author’s, and it makes me excited to read her other stories!
Content: 99% clean- Lizbet lets a word slip when talking about spiders, which makes it more justifiable. Spiders are the worst.

Now, don't get me wrong on the rating. This was a good story. No errors and an enjoyable and interesting writing style. And it is SO refreshing to see a love interest that's not based on "You're hot. I'm pretty. Let's get together." I personally gave it three stars, though, because it didn't have that spark of something special that Kenley Davidson's other books have. Maybe that's because I went into it expecting a retelling of The Frog Prince.* Or maybe it's because there's not a whole lot of space in a novella to develop things. Either way, I "liked it" a fair amount, but didn't love it.
*(It's a retelling in a loose sense. There's a golden ball, but no frog! The heroine does come to realize a similar 'moral of the story' though.)
Anyway, if you've read the other Andari books, don't hesitate to read this. It's a solid novella and a nice look into Lizbet's backstory. And, by definition, it's a very quick and easy read. ;)

I thought Lizbet and Casper were cute! Casper joking about his 'old' age and Lizbet trying to help raise her nephews made this novella interesting. This was the first I read of the series and after I read book one, [b:Traitor's Masque|28193548|Traitor's Masque (Andari Chronicles, #1)|Kenley Davidson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1560296803l/28193548._SY75_.jpg|47951865], I appreciated all the small hints about character development in this book. All in all, this was a great way to get introduced to this series.

Reread: Still one of my favorite stories in this series, and one of my favorite romances, actually. Just a pleasant little story with an adorable couple (even if they mention Caspar's age a few too dozen many times). Caspar and Lizbet have great chemistry, and it's so refreshing to see a mature romance--not "adult", but a truly mature love story that shows a subtly developing connection between two sensible people who respect and appreciate each other. I caught a lot more of the "Frog Prince" parallels this time, too.
An adorable little romance. Lizbet and Caspar are a great couple. I love Lizbet's spirit and Caspar's self-deprecating humor (and that he's that rare specimen--a romantic hero with spectacles). The plot is slight, but it contains surprisingly deep character work for such a short tale, and it's nice to get a look into Rowan and Ramsey's childhood.
