A Heart of Stone by Alexis TaylorMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a fairy tale retelling, with a twist!
You start with the evil king mid-plan, and they swap to one of the servants in his castle, who has been badly abused and tortured by him for as long as she can remember, and is planning her escape. Which she does, thanks to the price and his best friend. As they continue their journey, the learn just how deeply the king's plotting has gone, and also what they mean to each other!
Immediate dangers are solved in true fairy tale style, and while they do have a happy for now point at the ending, the next book is also set up.
For a relatively short book, the characters are well developed and clear, the story is well faced and it's overall a fun read. Looking forward to the next one!
