Review: Pleasant Fairytale with Some Teeth
Rating: 4 out of 5

This story is a reasonably charming fairytale, and like traditional fairytales, when there is justice or revenge to be meted out, it's violent and complete. The Diggory character is likeable, if a little clueless in some ways. Likewise, Adalwin doesn't always appear to be the sharpest sword in the armory, but fairytales rely on that sort of naivete. The hardest concept to swallow is that two princes would marry to unite their countries. With no ability to produce children it seems like a useless endeavor in the long run. But it's still a sweet conceit. Ms. Derr seems to improve with each new work and this story is more enjoyable than a lot of the drivel out there.
