I loved this book. More of a twist on a fairy tale than an adventure fantasy, I actually loved how the problems in this novel were mostly solved without direct violence. I aporeciated that the main cast were well into adulthood. The main character's flaws are acknowledged and her actions make sense based on those things. All the characters were charming and by the end I was incredibly invested in their well-being.
