The Power of Love by Karen J. Mossman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
*A Cute Fairy Tale For Modern Readers*
I like fairy tales. I love magic. Therefore, I greatly enjoyed this short story.
Everyone who knows me, both as a reader and a writer, knows I prefer more lengthy works. I like details and intricacies. However, I felt Karen J. Mossman pretty much nailed this one. It wasn't too short, nor too long - it was perfect. The three bears would be proud (yep, hanging with the theme LOL).
There are idyllic features true to all fairy tales - a king and queen, beautiful turreted castle, a dark secret, an irresistible call... There are interesting twists I didn't expect. Though I wanted to delve deeper into the characters' back stories, this was well-paced and entertaining. I remained engaged from cover to cover and was moved by the relationships depicted.
This is a fun read, which I definitely recommend.
