This book is a retelling of a story from a Grimms' Fairytale called King Thrushbeard. In German it was Koenig Drosselbard. Being a native German, I hate to admit that this is a Grimms' story that I had not heard of. So that being said, I can't compare or comment as to how the two stories intertwine. However, I will review it on it's own merits. I really enjoyed the story how a very pampered princess learned to live a life of a peasant and was forced to marry someone against her will. This man, Larik, appears to be a most patient and thoughtful peasant and the story of their lives as husband and wife will be a great challenge for this man.
It is a very engaging story, one that you will want to finish and find out what happens. Very good story!
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
