3.0

This was quite good, but nothing outstanding for me. I really liked the premise and both the queen and the king were great characters, and while I did thoroughly enjoy the story/plot, it should have been longer... Even if had been 50 pages total (which is still quite short), it would have been better. My biggest problems with it was the length, specifically I would have liked more detail, especially with the curse. But also, the story would jump in time by hours or even a day, and there is no indication of that. I had to reread a few paragraphs to get the flow of the story once I realized what was happeneing was after a considerable amount of time passed, and this happened at least 2 or 3 times that I remember.

I also would like some kind of continuation, but the ending is also fine the way it is.
