I have mixed feelings about this book for several reasons, the characters and the plot. This final volume in the trilogy combined the Robin Hood legend and the Red Riding Hood fairy tale. Petunia, one of the 12 sisters who was cursed in Princess of the Midnight Ball is the center of the story in this third volume in the trilogy. The youngest of the sisters, everyone treats her like she is six. At times she shows great strength and courage, at other times she is just a whinny, annoying character. Reconciling the two was hard. Oliver, the Robin Hood figure was an intriguing character, as was his mother, Emily. I liked them a lot. Their character profiles stayed the same throughout the book, making them strong. Some of the minor characters, Prince Grigori, Olga and the “grandmother” figure had good points and bad points. Olga and the grandmother turned out to be interesting surprises.The plot, for the first half of the book was, to me, dull and repetitive. Petunia spends the day at a lavish estate, fights with Olga over everything, has a horrible nightmare. Next chapter, repeat. It wasn’t until more than halfway in that that started to change. The ending was fast paced, and had a lot of action and excitement, but getting there was a slow process.Overall, not a bad story, just a few bumps along the way. -- source link
