This is my favorite genre, and Lillith Saintcrow is a good author, so I was excited to stumble upon this ebook for $2.99.This is a full size novel not a novella.All my favorite tropes were present:Medieval settingLight fantasyHeroine is a Princess who likes books and thinks herself plain but  others view her differently.Yummy soldier/Capatin hero with shades of gray.Adventurous pursuits on horseback!1 start detracted because the heroine is annoying and childish at times. I agree with the reviewer who called her a Ninny. The hero however was delicious and there was no Insta-luv on the heroines side, so this was a plus.The end  of the book has a tantalizing preview of Book two which comes out in Feb 2012:Hedgewitch #2Another great book with a similar feel isThe Girl of Fire and Thorns
