Retelling of Six Swans (by The Brothers Grimm) / The Wild Swans (by Hans Christian Andersen)

This book was a great retelling of the fairy tale Six Swans (by The Brothers Grimm) / The Wild Swans (by Hans Christian Andersen). This story combines features of both these related fairy tales and is filled with great characters as well as a wonderful story that draws the reader in and kept my interest till the end. I would have liked an epilogue for when Princess Meriel and Liam were older but the story left off on a good point and I plan to read more by this author.
