I received a copy from the author, in exchange for an honest review.This was a good read. I thought it was a good retelling of The Princess and the Pea. I thought the characters were good, but they could have been better. The book was a bit boring at times. It took the book a long time to reveal the 'pea' thing. I liked Alyssa the best out of the characters. I want to find out what happens in the next book, The Princess Fugitive. Overall, an okay read.I was going to do a proper review on this but I just don't have enough to say about the story!!! So here is the abridged version. Basically this was a reinterpretation of The Princess and the Pea but mashed up with a bunch of other fairytales. All in all it was very sweet and a very easy read. However, the story lacked anything to set it apart from other fairytale retellings. The characters were very flat and one dimensional and while it all made for a very nice read, it was just too saccharine!
An enjoyable read. The subplot/backstory with the King and Queen was interesting and I wish they had more page-time (or perhaps a companion novel is in order/already exists). I liked the heroine and some of the side characters (Marie, Mathilde), but I admit I found the Prince rather dull. (I was glad he wasn't all stereotypically alpha male, but I never really got that interested in him either).
I loved this book! I was one of the Beta readers (test reader as I know the author), and I thought it had excellent character development, and a very unique take on the traditional fairy tale story. Well written too, especially for a first novel. Cant wait for the next one in the series!
Excellent story! definitely skipped out on a few hours of homework to read this.Favorite characters: Princess Marie + Princesses Lily and Sophia (I hear there's a story about them in the next series which I'm hypeddd for). Wish we could've dived deeper into Max, though. I feel like I didn't really get to know much about him beyond the bare essentials. oh and Felix and Nate and Harrison yessss
(Downloaded for free from Amazon.co.uk)This was a fairy tale retelling of The Princess and the Pea.Alyssa was an okay character, and she seemed fairly resourceful and able to turn her hand to anything. She was also quick to remind people that she wasnt a princess and didnt deserve special treatment.The storyline in this was about Alyssa going to a castle for shelter when lost in the woods, and ending up getting a job there as a companion to the two young princesses, while the King and Queen had
The story begins with a woodcutter's daughter, Alyssa, seeking shelter and finding a castle. The Winter Castle is the home of a royal family...for four months out of the year. She becomes the companion to the young twin princesses, also befriending their older brother, Max. Alyssa quickly becomes beloved of this royal people. There is a definite Princess and the Pea vibe for the first part of the book, but then that feeling all but disappears. While still entertaining, another story emerges and
