Poor Princess Anya. Forced to live with her evil stepmother's new husband, her evil stepstepfather. Plagued with an unfortunate ability to break curses with a magic-assisted kiss. And forced to go on the run when her stepstepfather decides to make the kingdom entirely his own.
Aided by a loyal talking dog, a boy thief trapped in the body of a newt, and some extraordinarily mischievous wizards, Anya sets off on a Quest that, if she plays it right, will ultimately free her land -- and teach her a thing or two about the use of power, the effectiveness of a well-placed pucker, and the finding of friends in places both high and low.
I was on the fence about reading this book. It looked like just another fractured fairy tale. But, I truly enjoyed reading it. There are twists along the way, and it was fun to read how things turned out overall. It reinforced the fact that people have good in them if given the chance to show it.
I highly recommend this good read.
