I loved it! Mystery, magic and a touch of romance and you have a really good chick book. The princess ’ mother Maude makes two bargains with the king of the underworld. Of course it is a big mistake but luckily the handsome soldier comes to break the curse. If you like fairy tales and the retellings this one was very entertaining.
