I must admit I lost my patience with Valanka a few times and was very angry at him when Calia was hurt, more than a few times, but what an incredible story!  I know the famous phrase in fairy tales 'only true love can break the curse' can be a bit off-putting being so cliché, and yet after finishing this book I realized 'true love' is so invaluable and cannot be substituted with anything because it makes us face our true selves as individuals.  By being loved unconditionally by another we start to love ourselves the same way and that makes us want to be better people.  The best possible version of ourselves.  That to me is the enlightening wisdom behind love.  No wonder these tales have been around for so many years.  Congratulations Ms. Jaeger on capturing the truth of the human heart so masterfully!Looking forward to getting immersed in more of your wonderful stories.
