Summary:

Once Upon a Time…

In the kingdom of Tranen, a king makes a promise to his dying wife that he’ll only remarry a woman who possesses her golden hair. In time, the king’s eyes are turned by his daughter. Realizing her father’s intentions, Princess Aurelia tries to trick him by requesting impossible gifts: dresses created by the sun, moon and stars, and a coat made of a thousand furs. But when he is successful, Aurelia sacrifices her privileged life and flees her kingdom, disguised by the cloak and a new name, Allerleirauh.

She enters the safe haven of Saarland der Licht, where the handsome and gentle Prince Klaus takes her under his care. Hoping not to be discovered by her father’s courtiers, Allerleirauh tries to remain hidden under her new identity when she finds unexpected love with Prince Klaus, even though his arranged marriage to the princess of a neighboring kingdom approaches. Risking everything, Allerleirauh must face her troubled past and her fears of the future along her journey to self-acceptance in this triumphant retelling of the classic Grimm Fairy Tale.

After reading the song in out hearts I knew that this book was going to be good but I didn’t realize that it was going to be that good. I don’t normally read Fantasy books but I do read them. I was completely blown away by this book. I can’t believe how much I enjoyed it.

My thoughts:

This book follows a beautiful Princess named Aurelia, The death of her mother tears everything apart.

Her mother doesn’t want her father to marry any one else unless she has hair just like hers. (I thought that it was an odd request)

This book has so many different elements to it some are good and some are bad but that’s what comes with any book. There are some sensitive topics like incest and rape and I have read other books that did have that in it so it didn’t really faze me like it would other people.

I must say that Chantel did another amazing job on this book I love her writing style and I can’t wait to see what is instore for her next one. This was such a beautiful fairy tail of love and hope.

As a side note I would love to see this story told as Klaus’s POV I think that would be amazing. In the book he’s kind an understand of Aurelia I just might have to add him to my list of book boyfriends. Klaus kind of remined me of Klaus from The Vampire Diaries/The Originals.

I was gifted this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
