Sort of a spoiler involved in this review, but not really.
It was fun to read a more fleshed-out version of Princess and the Pea, and I thought it did a good job of expanding the story into something a bit more understandable. Although, with all of the other tests being nonsupernatural in nature, I did think the pea itself was a tiny bit of a cop-out. But it was still pretty fun to read.

"Longing for him nearly overpowered her, but Violet managed to keep her wits..."
"If you want to win the prince, be true to who you are..."
"The Princess and the Pea" has always been one of my favorite tales because I love the idea that they meet in a rain storm. This version takes the story to a deeper level, focusing on the 'princess test'.
Violet and Richard know they are in love; it was a tale of love at first sigh ...more

I love the Once Upon a Time series, and I've read all of them. But I have to say this one ties with SNOW for #1 favorite.

This book is the story of the princess and the pea and is very cleverly written. I really liked it.
