I like books with strong female protagonists. This sounds like a unique fairytale with the usual elements and a twist. I will enjoy reading this with my little ones.

It sounds like a very nice fairy tale to read, especially for the young kids. I'm definitely going to grab a copy for my young siblings. Thanks for the excellent review.

Being a fairy tale lover, this book is definitely for me. Nadira character is quite appealing, I love her strength, her go getter attitude and her ability to find a way around a barrier. Great review

Great review! This book is the embodiment of true strength and the ability to discover more of ourselves in times of perils. Young girls can pick a thing or two.

A girl who loves to compete with boys, taking challenges and do not like getting help from others as she wants to take matters in to her own hand and be responsible. A modern day fairy tale which will be loved by everyone even though the novel is aimed at teenagers. I thoroughly enjoyed your informative review! :tiphat:

I didn't enjoy the sample I read. It seemed like the writer was more concerned about making a point about gender roles than telling a story (several instances of which you highlighted here). Thanks for your review.

With the strong female protagonist and the message that one should meet their challenges head-on, this would be a wonderful book for children. I think adults would enjoy it as well. Thanks for your wonderful review!
