Sweet, because this is my favorite type of fairy tale: a heroine who questions what happens to her and does her best to act. Realistic, because, well, not everything is perfectly Charming. In fact, it stinks more than the crap-hole our leading lady Ella has to dig a tunnel through to escape the castle. She might not have known much about love, but she recognized enough to know that what she felt was not it, and that it deserved no place in a marriage. And when she tried to back out... well, she became well-acquainted with the dungeon atmosphere.
The book was a quick read, and made enjoyable by the heroine's narration and the frankly interesting story. I would recommend this story to intermediate readers, or anyone who likes a fractured fairy tale.
