I had fun with this retelling of The Goose Girl. I don't know the real tale so I didn't know what to expect with this book. But oh wow!

There is Princess Gisele/servant Vanja (who is also a goddaughter of Death and Fortune) swapped lives, thievery, Ragne who can shape shift (and a fav of mine), an evil & nasty Prince, a jr prefect Emeric (taught in the ways of magic who tries to catch the thief known as Penny Phantom) and so much adventure!

Ragne was such a fun side character/magical daughter! She was funny and endearing and so protective of those she came to love. Gisele was a spoiled Princess who, through her life being stolen by Vanja, learned and grew at the orphanage she took refuge at. Vanja, I felt, learned to stand up for herself and be her own person in a great way. I liked watching Emeric and Vanja go from enemies to more!
