This was my first Judith Ivory book, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. Ivory has a unique writing style that is easy to read and also very intelligent. I enjoyed this book very much -- I am a sucker for anything resembling a fairytale, and this book delivered. I found Charles quite charming and wicked -- my absolute favorite kind of hero. While I did like Louise, I didn't like that she was 18 and it showed. Good lord, that girl was immature. I appreciated her adventurous spirit, but towards the end of the book she was really setting my teeth on edge and I wanted to thump her on the head and tell her to grow up. I gave this book 4 stars -- if the heroine had been even a bit more mature it would have been an easy 5, but still so worth the read. I will definitely be reading more of her books.
