She never rejoined the family who always wished to see her and eventually she was forgotten by everyone who tried so hard to protect her, even going as far as to continue using her 'double' friend making everyone's sacrifices worthless and the kingdom living a lie just because her friend looked the part of the princess and she herself did not believe this was right for her to be one UUUUUGGGGGHHHH! There was one brief moment where the queen races to foggy bottom to finally meet her and as she hugs the friend she looks over at Rosie and instantly knows that Rosie is the true princess and understood they were not out of danger yet, but at the end suddenly her memory is wiped 100% clean so apparently the curse has a forget me spell attached to it too. The idea of a wild princess would have been amazing, a strong princess who became queen that defeated an evil fairy and found ways to help her kingdom using said ways that she learned living in foggy bottom, but Robin I believe did not think so, here the princess did not grow and she let fear rule her even after the curse was lifted.

She put to much detail in the details, For nearly two chapters she wrote about her feelings the night before her 21st birthday and then every now and again the story would jump back if it had missed said certain feelings. NOW this book however is so disappointing.

First I just want to say Robin McKinley is my favorite writer, and I dont want you to think that this review is a slap in the face, read all her books they are amazing.
