Just as with the other two titles in this series, this was a light, pleasant afternoon's read, suitable for anyone roughly 10 and up. The characters are likable, the world is likable, though people do bad things there's no real sense of danger or despair. . . it's sweet and quite innocent. The comparisons to Shakespeare in the editorial quotes, as a result, come off as a tad overblown, but I do understand where they come from -- the novel rests on mistaken identities and people in disguise, and everything of course comes together all at once for a chaotic but happy resolution. So pleasant, probably the most pleasant of the three, but ultimately probably forgettable.
