This was my first book by Melanie Cellier and while I am sure I would have enjoyed the story even more if I had read some of the previous books to have a better background of some of the characters it worked well as a standalone as well. I loved both Hanna and Stefan in this quick Retelling of Cinderella and was happy with how everything worked out for the two of them. I look forward to reading more by this author and plan to add more of her books to my TBR list.
Hanna knows all about hard work. For years she’s labored to complete her apprenticeship and become a pastry chef. Driven from her home once before, she’s willing to endure whatever it takes to keep her position in the palace kitchens of Northhelm.
But when she finally has a chance for all her dreams to come true, everything goes wrong. In danger of losing both her future as a pastry chef, and the man she’s loved for years, Hanna will have to decide if she’s ready to fight for herself, as well as for Stefan.
The Coronation Ball is a novelette of approximately 15,000 words that follows Hans’s sister after she flees Rangmere to build a life in Northhelm.
