I enjoy reading stories with strong female protagonists. What's more is that it's a fairy tale and Nadira is no damsel in distress. it's a seemingly adventurous story with a beautiful book cover. Congrats on BOTD!

Have just downloaded this for free. Reading the review, it sounds perfect for a film. I love these types of book if the magic/fantasy works. Let's see.

This is really compelling and I like the fact that it teaches a lesson that challenges can serve a greater purpose. I would like to read it soon. Thanks for the informative review.

:P Nice book. Like it when Nadira's dad gives her a go ahead. Shows how close one is to her parents. Recommend the book to young people especially girls.

I like that this book teaches self-reliance and self-respect; attributes children will need be independent. The book also has a beautiful cover.

Kellan and Albina are proud parents as their daughter possesses exceptional traits. She amazes to boys as it is evident when she outruns them. This is such an adventurous book and is so appealing to children

The plot does not sound unique but it surely is enticing for readers who love fairy tales. Unfortunately, I do not enjoy this genre much, so would skip the book.

A fairy tale with stronger, more independent female characters. I respect the initiative of the author to adapt a fairy tale to the modern day. It is called growth. Great job!

Nadira sounds like an interesting character. I love that the book is fairy-tale in a modern way. The conflict in the content and prompted me to read the book. Thanks a lot for an amazing review of the book. Congratulations BOTD.
