3.75 Not a bad fantasy picaresque for a younger audience and miles ahead of the preceding volume. However, it's doesn't quite reach the heights of Cimorene's first "solo" adventure and there's people marrying again - well it's a fairy tale setting, so I won't complain too much. Pity the series couldn't keep up the level of the second volume throughout, though.

It continues to disappoint me, that Wrede is unable to return to the gender negotiation of the first book. Although a decent fantasy novel, the story and characters are a far cry from the unexpected subversion of the first book.
