The third book of the series, which is adapt from the fairy tale Snow White. I must admit, I never like Snow White...so I guest this kind of affect the point I read this book. But this is still a great book, just not my favorite one. And I think this one is not so similar to Disney movie if you compare to the last two books. 
 Although it's the third book among the Series, I read it after the forth book ( the Captive Maiden ) so I guess because I love Valten and Gisela so much, I can hardly love Gabe and Sofie. This book somehow remind me The Healer's Apprentice, they have quiet same connection between them : both bound by betrothed, threaten by villains. I still enjoy reading this book, Sofie had her courage and bravely and Gabe is incredibly handsome when he saved Sofie. But I expected to read romance scene in this series and yet however this book is much more of adventure. Not that I don't like adventure stories, just I think Melanie Dickerson didn't write the plot that exciting. ( but we can see the improvement in The Princess Spy! Great work! Melanie Dickerson ) Great book...just not on my top list. ( I know some people love this book, but...just like I said : not enough Romance! )
