I loved how devoted Lilia, Kai and Karina were to each other. Even though Lilia was basically adopted (found floating down the river in a basket as a baby), they all love each other like siblings.
I was expecting the reveal about who Lilia's parents were, but it was still interesting to find out how she was lost all those years ago. There was a good bit of world building for such a short book. I liked the elves, Odin and the Wild Hunt. I also liked the bit about the Royal Beds.
There is a tiny hint of romance for Lilia, but not until the very end of the book. And it's one of those, blink and you'll miss it type of things. I really liked this take on The Princess And The Pea, and I hadn't realized that's what it was until part way through the book.
I will definitely be reading more by this author, and I highly recommend this retelling.
