What a brilliant and adventurous read for young readers! I loved the excitement, challenges and lessons learned.

I thought the author created a great selection of characters, all of which would make a greatcoats for a young reader's mind to really latch on to. It was great to see as these character developed and watch the ever-changing dynamic between the brothers and sisters. I liked that it stuck true to family interactions and had a blend of admiration/love and moments where they felt they despised one another. I think that, plus the prince's 'connections' with the others was great for giving the different feels of family ties and a link to fairy tales.

I loved the little joke about Snow White, the Brothers Grimm and their visit to the area. It really stuck with me. It think little jokes like that, which were dotted throughout the book, really made for a fun read, even as an adult.

In all honesty, I am not afraid, at all, to admit that I whole-heartedly love this book and would read it again, and/or read more in a series of similar books. I loved the whole story and the very well-written work the author put into its creation. I highly recommend reading this and passing it along to a young reader you know, as well.
