I’ll preface this review by saying that this is not the kind of book I would pick to read myself, but it was chosen for our book club. It’s a Russian fairytale told in English. It is definitely well written, but it’s not something I can really get into. Anyone who enjoys this type of thing will probably really like it. A woman dies leaving behind a new baby and the father is royalty. The child grows to be a handful and the father decides to marry so that she might have a mother to help her grow up properly. The stepmother isn’t kind to the Girl and the girl has special Powers.

I had little exposure to Russian fairy tales so this was a new experience. The writing is excellent and the story leaves you wanting more.
