This is the first fairy tail retelling that I’ve read. While it was an okay book, and took its own direction, this is part of why I don’t often read retellings. Either they take too many liberties or they just are so predictable. This book was a bit predictable, but in all a lovely read.
This book, while being an amazing story line, is very fast paced. For 300+ pages this book seems to skip a lot of important things like training. Instead of training the princess kind of overcomes her fear by snapping out of it every time. I would have liked a lot more of those holes to have been filled. Otherwise the storyline and characters are great and loveable.
As far as the romance side of the story goes it also moves quite quickly. Not much burn or even very much “get to know you” they fall in love utterly fast. Now I do love them together, but I do wish there was a bit more. The personalities and the things that have happened to them should have caused a bit more of a riff or healing time, but they bounce in baby.
