I love any book by Melanie Dickerson. She is just so good at retelling fairytales, and mixing all of the good happy parts with the adventures of the time. And like any other Melanie Dickerson book, I loved this one too. Part of the reason that I think this one just wasn't it for me was the fact that I have never read the story that it is based on. Another reason was that it just felt really slow. It was a constant teeter totter of happy, sad, happy, sad. And although that's fine, it just got stale as the book went on. 
Thats the only bad thing I have to say about this book. I would read it again.
