A delightful romantic fairy tale. I enjoyed some of the overall themes and found a few scenes to be particularly good. But the romance came about too fast and was based entirely on emotion, and other than the gender swap, the retelling didn't seem to add anything to the original fairy tale.

It is nice to see YA fiction without heaps of objectionable content, though. This book is appropriate for a family or middle grade audience. And if you enjoy it (or even if you don't), check out Hoyle's Gateway Chronicles, which I liked a lot more :)
