I have been wanting to read this book for awhile and I am so happy I won a signed copy in a giveaway recently! I read this book in two days and I almost stayed up all night to finish it!

The romance is sweet and the characters lovable. I really liked the morals of the main characters, it reminded me of Jane Eyre.

Spoiler

There is a point where she has a chance to run away with the prince, he will marry her and they can live happily ever after, but she says no. I appreciate characters who are willing to say no the first time because it isn't right.

The nuns are a great addition to this story and the type of magic fits the world well.

Good world building, and I'm curious to read the sequel which I understand to feature one of the villains as a main character.
