I really enjoy these Fairytale retellings. The stories are familiar but totally new at the same time. This one has romance and adventure and a hero who is totally honourable. Godfrey and Penelope are a great couple and this series is truely enjoyable.

It was interesting to read about a lesser known fairytale I’m not familiar with. I felt that the first half of the novel was choppy, and it took me a while to get into the story, but the second half flowed well. As always, the heroine was strong and intelligent. Penelope’s gift added a rich dimension to the story. Godfrey was an exceptional hero, and I loved that he was so humble. I wish we had seen more of some of the side characters, especially Zoticus—he was very intriguing. Overall, I enjoyed this retelling of The Enchanted Horse and would recommend it to those who like fairytale retellings and romance. As a caution, there was an intimate scene and some violence.
