Dia Calhoun has written just an amazing new fairytale with Avielle of Rhia. I won this book in a contest over at Readergirlz. It was a bit of a Cinderella kind of story, but very different too. I loved reading it and that it was such a huge book was great too, I just wanted this book to continue and this was actually one of the few fantasy books I absolutely liked!
