I read this as I searched for a book I read in junior high. This wasn’t it, but it was so good. I love retellings of princess tales, and this did such a good job of it. Ani experiences such interesting character development, and the twist with her betrothed was so unexpected! The movement of the story is good, and the book is simple.
