Princess and the Pea Meets Beauty and the Beast

The Princess and the Pea is one of my favorite fairytale retellings. I love how Sarah Carlisle made it her own! Prince Rian has been cursed, if he doesn’t find a perfect princess by his 21st birthday, he will die. And his good looks and physical attributes were stripped away. Good luck, Rian!

I loved the tests, and Aine’s desire to win, but win fairly. She was clever and strong in the face of sabatoge. I loved watching her and Rian in all of the little moments. I stayed up far too late finishing this book! Don’t tell my husband. I couldn’t put it down.

I could see the set-up for so many more fairytales in the land of Tir, and I’m excited to go back.

My only complaint was the number of names and places in the pronunciation guide. I want to enjoy the story, and I felt like I had to think about every local name since none of them were recognizable or phonemic. It pulled me out of the delightful story.
