10/26/2016--I just listened to the audio for this and it was fantastic!! I was going to say Fantastical but I figured thats just tad bit cheesy :) So glad to finally have the rest of this series in audio!

"Does this mean I'm a princess?" I asked He started at me looking annoyed for a second then he say back and signed, "That's what usually happens when a woman marries a prince." ..... "Oh my God, I'm a Princess."
I just want to say why the hell can't I wake up and find out I am married to a prince. I would totally rock at being a princess. sigh.
Cora is one of my favorite heroines of all time. She is brave, funny, lovably and is nice to everyone. I loved how she would just go off on rants and Tor would just sit there. Adorable. She didn't just give up when everyone hated her. Yeah sure she cried for a little bit, had a little pity party but who the hell wouldn't. Hello she woke up in a different world where everyone spat at her! But then she got over it and turned everything around and made the people love her just by being her. And to me the character wasn't like overly fake. You know how it is when they are so nice that its unbelievable. Yeah well Cora wasn't. Kristen Ashley did an amazing job at making an annoyingly nice person 100% lovable.
They spent time in our world!! this is what I have been waiting for! The whole thing with the bad Cora and the other Noc was pretty cool too. I mean kinda sad for the other Noc but I loved that some of the story finally took place in our world.
Cant wait to read the next one!

Kristen Ashley definitivamente esta sacándole provecho a todas las posibles situaciones! Finnie se quería ir, Circe no (pero Lahn la quería), Cora tampoco y Tor la odiaba! Y ahora siguen Ilsa y Apollo, con los que estoy segura que voy a llorar! :'(
Este libro me parece que es el que tuvo mejor historia paralela al romance, con todo el cuento de maldiciones y que tales, pero los protagonistas no tuvieron nada que ver!! Con todo lo que había para inventarse y se quedaron sentados esperando a que Orlando solucionara todo, en vez de ser la heroína la que salvara el día, como en toda buena historia!
A Cora y a Tor les faltó ponerle un poco más de drama tipo telenovela mexicana al principio de la historia, o a mi no me pareció para nada que Tor la odiará y tuviera el corazón roto y aja... Y yo no se, peor yo insisto en que estas protagonistas tienen los súper instintos de supervivencia, por que lo que soy yo, estoy segura de que entraría en pánico y probablemente me haría matar de cualquier forma estúpida.
Definitivamente una de las mejores cosas si fue que se trajeran al héroe para este universo! Yo esperaba reacciones más fuertes, pero como es el héroe, obvio lo tiene todo bajo control. El encuentro entre Tor y Noc es ACA-AWESOME, el uno prácticamente en shock y el otro muerto de celos, me hubiese encantado que se pusieran a pelear entre ellos, pero bueh!
Y ese final!! Yo estaba esperando que se reconocieran o algo, pero tocara esperar a ver que pasa! Por fin algo más esta pasando en Fantasyland aparte de romances de cuento de hadas y villanos de película de Disney....
El caso es que como toda buena pareja de héroes de esta serie, Tor y Cora son divinos juntos, estuve pegada al libro dos días y ya mismo me empiezo el otro. Así es mi relación lectora/autora con Kristen, no todo, absolutamente todo, me complace, pero igual me entretiene y me hace trasnochar, exactamente lo que necesito en vacaciones!

Mini-Review:
A cute story. I liked how he was always in love with her even when it was the wrong Cora. I'm curious to see the underlying thread that is suppose to tie all of the stories together. I wonder if it will be concluded by the last book?

adventurous
medium-paced
Loved this one!!!! Truly. And then the ending?? Bring on the next book!!
4.5 stars
Utter escapism. I dissolved into the pages and enjoyed the ride. There were some similarities to others in this series, but then the ties between these books begin to become clear, so this is crucial element. I find the movement between the two worlds very tense and my heart sinks in these moments. As usual, great characters, believable, with depth that draw you in and gets you a little hooked. This is becoming a favourite series.

I enjoyed this installment and Tillie Hooper did an excellent job with the narration.
Every one of Kristen Ashley's books has the same hero and same heroine just the physical description is different. They heroines all speak the same and act the same. There are some good stories between that but it just seems that her word choices are limited. Sally forth, thus, beauty and the way they are used are the same in all of her books. So if you read one you will enjoy it but read ten and ever so often you will pull out your hair.
