I have never read the fairy tale The Princess on the Glass Hill, but I love retellings, so I jumped on the chance to review this book by Michelle Diener.

Likes:
I really like Kayla and Rane, both were in a hard place and trying to stay true to themselves, but still put themselves in situations that was not the best choice. I really like the push and pull in their relationship. It was like insta-love but then went backwards to a slow burn.
The magic in the book was very unique, I loved the wild magic and Sooty so much!
The characters were intriguing, I liked the witch and Jasper and the reasons why he wanted the Golden Apple so much.

Gripes:
The story was even-tempered the whole way through. There really wasn't a huge climax that kept me wanting to read. It was enjoyable, but not mind blowing.
I had a really hard time picturing the glass mountain and how the knights were trying to get to the top. I just needed some more detail.
