Rating: 5/5
Review: This was such a beautiful retelling of the Grimm Brothers fairytale about a princess that becomes a goose girl. I was enchanted from the beginning and, though I did take a break to read another novel, I was completely consumed once I got back to it. I loved the way Ani was able to communicate with the animals, especially her loyal horse, Falada. The princess is sent off to marry a prince after her sixteenth birthday, and things don't go quite as planned. All of a sudden, Ani is fleeing for her life and ends up becoming someone else to stay safe. It is an adventure, as well as, a learning experience for her. She finds herself, and what she can truly achieve with her powers. There is some unexpected sadness I must warn, but there is love and excitement as well. I can't wait to delve into Hale's other books featuring the same characters.
Book Description: On her way to marry a prince she has never met, Princess Anidori is betrayed by her guards and her lady-in-waiting and must become a goose girl to survive until she can reveal her true identity and reclaim the crown that is rightfully hers.

I don't remember this fairy tale. I so tend to enjoy retellings though.
