Als Liebhaberin der klassischen Disney-Filme habe ich mir mehr von dem Buch erwartet. Sprachlich hat es mich gar nicht abgeholt (es ist wohl eher für Kinder geschrieben, der Sprachgebrauch ist sehr 'leicht' und wiederholend); der Fortschritt der Geschichte war stolprig — manchmal zu langsam, manchmal viel zu schnell. Die Charaktere fand ich teilweise flach und lieblos hingeklatscht, manchmal aber wieder spannend. Die Grundidee selbst finde ich grandios, aber der Plot wäre eindeutig ausbaufähig gewesen. Schade, vielleicht sind die anderen Bände mehr nach meinem Geschmack.

Dieses Buch hat mich gefesselt ich konnte mich Grade in der Beziehung zu ihrem Vater so gut mit der Königin Identifizieren. Es ist ein tolles Buch und wirklich toll geschrieben. 

Obwohl ich wusste das es nicht möglich ist habe ich bis zum Ende gehofft, das es für die Königin gut ausgeht.

Wasn’t what I expected. It was good but I wanted a bit more than the story we already know just told slightly different.
