At first, I was only mildly interested in what was going on in this retelling of a classic fairy tale. However, once the action got started, I really enjoyed listening. The cast was perfect--voices, ages, gender; every voice seemed correct. I think this was/is especially true in terms of the emotional aspects of the characters--I could totally hear it in their voices, which was refreshing.In terms of the story, I really enjoyed the character of Geric. His relationship with Ani, especially whenLove this book just as much on my third reread. <3
This is a sweet little story that's good for kids and adults. All the characters are likable and have good slow burn arcs making them the most memorable part of the book. There's also some solid world building and a romantic subplot that's a good example for kids of how a healthy relationship works. However, I found it way too boring for my taste and a little overly simplistic. I probably won't read the rest of the series but I'm glad I finished it because it did have a good ending!Also, this is
I really liked this fairytale retelling. We have a princess in dire need, we have a handsome prince, an evil lady-in-waiting who wants to be princess, and we have some magic.This had such a magical feel to it, which is why I love fairytales. It was also pretty grueling at times (like in real fairytales, where Im shocked when reading to my 4 year old that so many people are maimed, beaten, hanged, etc.). But despite all the awful things happening to Ani, she remained quite upbeat and was still
If you'd like to see my full thoughts, you can check out my video review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcr2X...This book is pure magic. The writing is poetic and romantic and beautiful. The plot is faithful to the fairytale that it's retelling, but it brings new and exciting things to the table. The fantasy elements are understated but really enhance the story, and the characters, oh the characters, are spectacular.
4 stars! Ani is a young princess with a unique gift, she can speak animal languages. From a very young age she learned to speak to the swans in the pond and forged a beautiful connection with a horse foul, Falada. When her father, the king, dies, Ani learns from her mother that she is to be sent off to a neighboring kingdom to be wed to their prince. Along the journey, Anis handmaid Selia leads a coup and gets half of Anis soldiers to turn against her. Ani flees for her life, and when she
Anidori-Kiladra Talianna Isilee was born the Crown Princess of Kildenree, but her mother didnt feel she was fit to rule and instead arranged a marriage with a neighboring kingdom, passing the title on to Anis brother. Ani was always a strange child, she didnt open her eyes for the first three days after her birth, and her aunt taught her to speak with birds. Its no wonder her mother didnt feel that someone who could be considered a witch should sit on the throne. So off Ani goes with her
