Heartless by Anne Elisabeth Stengl

3.0

A beautifully written fairy-tale-esque fantasy akin to Robin McKinley's works. The wold is well crafted and the entrance of the fae from the wood right in the beginning is magical. There is also a great twist to the dragon.

There is a strong parallel between prince Aethelbald and Jesus which was presented as pure, unconditional love. Though that love had no basis in the romantic relationship between Una and Aethelbald, there was no beginning to it, no reason—which I understand is biblical, but as a romantic love it didn't connect with me. But everything else did!
