Customer Reviews

A rare little treasure.

What a delightful story! I loved Violet the main character. She was self-assured, clever, and determined, but also compassionate and humble. Definitely a comfort read, it was very much a “love wins and good prevails” story. The book really highlights depth of character, compassion, and perseverance. A good book for kids to read. I loved Violet’s friends (Genevieve is darling, Arianna is so cool) and Richard’s mom! Richard was also pretty interesting and a sweetie. As a love-at-first-sight romance, it’s done well.

Fairytales with a twist

This book is what got me into reading. I love that the story is close to the original but pulls you in with a more compelling writing style.
