This book is extremely well written and the story grabs you from the start. I found myself pulled in from the first page and I honestly didn't want to put it down. The characters grab hold of you and don't let go, they pull you in and make you feel as if you're walking in their shoes. I admit I had a tear in ny eye on a few occasions while reading this book, I also laughed my way through parts and smiled throughout the rest. There were many twists I didn't see coming which kept me hooked. I read this over a weekend as I needed to know what happened. Following the story of a princess with an unhappy life as she is taken to a new land to be married to a powerful prince, it is filled with magic, betrayal and true friendship. This is a book that leaves you feeling better at the end of it. I can honestly say this is the best book I've read this year. Absolutely amazing 10 out of 10, I cannot recommend it enough. Be sure to grab your copy and I know you'll fall in love with it too.
