the right amount of humour and reality to it to make it captivating and enticing.Characters are strong, realistic, not far fetched or fabled. Story starts out in present day then jumps back in time then back to present day towards the end. The interaction between Anna family is dramatic and, makes you feel for her and the life she lives.Love the way we meet the prince, funny, sweet and I liked how it played out. Love the smart humour and relation to the time, doesn't stand out, blends right in. As it progresses we are introduced to more characters and drama and the plot gets sticky. I don't know how it was to write but I know how it felt to read and this story made me happy, sad and so angry.  Anna was so strong and brave the outcome couldn't have been any different for her. I never thought much about "how" that fortune would play out - but it did and well!I must say that after reading the Saga and then the intro to this, I was expecting something a little different, something a little more brutal and bland. I enjoyed what I got and it wasn't what i expected. It was gentle yet strong, powerful and dramatic yet a beautiful love story. Ending was amazing. Love the drama and excitement and the way things played out. Loved the twists and turns! The face clawing was brilliant and I wonder if the beard was his way of hiding those scars?
