Reviews and Comments
This is the third book in the Seven Kingdoms Series and is a Retelling of The Dirty Shepherdess. This was my first time reading anything based on this fairy tale and isn't a story I am familiar with but I did enjoy this book and it's characters. I also hadn't read any of the other books in this series yet and while I am sure I would have enjoyed certain aspects of this book more if I had it can be read as a standalone. I look forward to backtracking to read the previous books in this series.
I received a free copy of this book via StoryOrigin and am voluntarily leaving a review.
