I enjoyed this one well enough. I think it rather on the lower or lower-average end of Princess Retellings (Levine, McKinley, and Jessica Day George are the best I have read). I will have to try Shadow Spinner.
I agree about it being on the lower end. "Shadow Spinner" is great, and so are the authors you mentioned! I have read and enjoyed books by them all.
I don't specifically love that book, but I do LOVE Cameron Dokey's books! :)
I love this series! I especially like the one that retells the 12 dancing princesses, since it's fairy tale meets King Arthur. The Little Red Riding Hood one was different...anyways, I digress.
