This is one of those books written to fulfill a contract and nothing more sadly. There was so much potential to fill in details, for instance, on the relationship between Danielle's stepmother and the two sour-faced women in the court (I've never caught their names). The looks they give her when she and her daughters show up at court towards the end of the story suggested interesting interactions had occurred. Other opportunities were available but never followed up upon either.

Still, I like the movie and the basic story is decent if not wonderful.
I cant imagine liking this better than the movie (wich was awesome!) but just in case I added it

First words
Long walks in the moonlight, unexpected tokens of affection, a gallant young prince on a majestic horse...what girl hasn't dreamed of being swept off her feet by love in a fairy-tale romance?
Last words
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)It sounded almost like a fairy tale.
