Engaging

Enjoyed this story quite a bit. The last couple hours grew somewhat tedious for me, so I sped through all the action—that is so typical in this type of novel—in order to get to the most important part at the end. Otherwise, the relationships between everyone were delightful.

Spoiled antagonist

Female protagonist is self centered and spoiled hoyden ... how can the other characters love her? She is also rash and thoughtless of the impact of her actions. Does she deserve the kind, indulgent male lead?
