Definitely cute and a credible addition to Lackey's 500 Kingdoms series.

Though the end felt rather...forced. Lackey had been very good about character development (especially in a fairy tale) and making sure the romances are credible and based on something other than "Oh, we must be in love!" and then in the last ten pages, she quickly pairs off the spares without any thought for maybe introducing her readers to them as characters. I would have much preferred a separate book for them so that I could have a bit of closure.

Still, definitely a fun story.
