great story
The story was great. I loved seeing Meena shine and fall in love. The book does need some editing but don’t let that stop you from reading

While I'm not familiar with the East of the Sun, West of the Moon retelling, from what I looked up, this book very loosely follows it. Putting that factor aside, I loved the adventure and the tension in the romance. My only complaint is that there were some noticeable editing errors when sentences were jumbled up enough that I had to reread through to make it make sense with the story. Aside from that, it was a pretty solid story!

I had no idea how much I would love Princess Meena until I read this book. She is such a cool character! She is so honest and trusting and loyal and adventurous and so many wonderful things all poured into a single character. And as with all of Emily's books, the story was perfect for her. She was so often overlooked and her brilliant mind was taken for granted because people thought she was nothing more than a silly princess. I was less familiar with the fairy tale this book retold, but it had its own twist and fit in perfectly within the tapestry Emily has been weaving for us. I eagerly anticipate the conclusion of the saga.
