I really enjoyed this, especially from about half-way through (maybe a bit earlier) when the trials began. The trials were fun. I also loved Siegfried, who has a wonderful way with animals. He also added some great humour into the book. Rosa and Lily were strong, tough women, which I also really liked

TrishB Lovely version of SK - not seen that cover before! 7y
Bklover @TrishB I have the same version of SK. I bought it when it originally came out so it‘s an older cover. 7y
TrishB @Bklover I think the UK one must be different as I think I got mine when it first came out too. 7y

Sometimes I read epic historical nonfiction, and sometimes I read… Fluff. Good, romantic, magical, fairytale fluff. This one isn‘t sure if it wants to be Sleeping Beauty or Snow White, but it‘s funny and satisfying and action filled, and I liked it very much.

The best lackey book published in the 2000s! Great world building, lots of humor, great characters and an interesting magic system. If you read any of her more recent books, read this one! It even has dragons. #herebedragons @dragon.rider @Dragon this is the best book, I was wrong before 😄 5/5 stars.
