I found this book to be quite a delightful read. I wasn't sure about it after reading the prologue, because the prologue struck me as silly and forced. But I'm glad I kept going.WHAT I LIKED-----------------* It's a fairy-tale retelling with werewolves, AND IT'S NOT BEAUTY AND THE BEAST! Amazing! Refreshing! It's Cinderella, and intriguingly done, as well.* The main characters are both full of strengths and flaws - no perfection here. They both have a sense of humor. I found them fun to read.* The wolf puppies. Man, I just couldn't get over those things. Stupid cute.WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE--------------------* The politics "don't tread on the little people" - a good message always, but it felt a bit ham-handedly rammed into the plot. The story would have been fine without it, but I have a feeling the political stuff may be part of the overarching plot of the Blood Prince books.If you like unique fairy-tale retellings, you might give this one a try.
