Review: Blew my Expectations Away!
Rating: 5 out of 5

I'm not familar with Jill Myles, but I do love a good Fairy tale retelling so I picked this book up after having it on my watch list for awhile.  I'm not familiar with the fairy tale of King Thrushberd so I thought it would at least be interesting in that it would be a new story line for me.  I have to say though that The Scarecrow King BLEW away my expectations! I read it straight through the night because I couldn't put it down! The love story between the Princess and Alek was so sublet, but believable.I also though that Myles writing style was fantastic- it kept me intrigued and I would laugh out loud with the characters, I felt their pain and depression.  I will say I shed several tears towards the end as well!  I truly hope that Jill Myles does a few more fairy tale retellings as I thought it was the perfect blend of romance, action and adventure without it being boring or too young adult.  There was a depth in the writing and in the characters that kept me on pins and needles! My only complaint is that I wish the book were longer!Excellent 5 Stars and a must read!
