I was slightly irritated by this last book in the Princesses of Westfalin trilogy because it essentially waved away everything that happened in the second book. I got the impression that maybe George had planned more books in the series following different princesses and retelling new fairy tales, but got side-tracked somewhere and just wanted to end the series.

This book is very much reminiscent of the first book. We're back in the King Under Stone's court and his desire to marry the princesses with his brothers and other members of his court to grow his power. There is a lot of backstory into the first King's history and how the princes came to be.

Petunia, the youngest, is the focal character in this story, and she takes on a Red Riding Hood guise given the red cloak she constantly wears. Her wolf is actually more of a Robin Hood character who has also been wronged by the King Under Stone's machinations.

I enjoyed this book, and was glad to see the princesses together again. ( )

Jessica Day George tells wonderful stories. They may be stories with bones of older tales woven in, but they are so fresh, so engaging and a delectable treat to read. ( )

It was Awesome. I think it tied it all together and it didn't just go on with the story it recapped what had happened because It has been too long since I read the other boods. I think that Petunia is a brave, smart princess and I wonder what the next princess book will be. not this series of couse, it ended. and so well too! ( )

This is the third book in Jessica Day George's Westfalin Princess trilogy, and while it ties the series up quite nicely, I was sad to see it end. Without going into too much details, this book returns us to the same bad guys and (one of the same) location as the first book, though the motivation and situation is modified to fit the events which have happened in between.

This whole trilogy is steeped in fairy tale lore, with some of the classics retold in a similar, but different, world. The names of the countries in these books will sound very like the European nations we all know, but with definite differences. The three books pull most heavily from the stories of The Twelve Dancing Princesses, Cinderella, and Little Red Riding Hood. (And as you can guess from the cover, this third book is the red riding hood story.)

I really like the characters Jessica Day George has developed for this world. Part of me wants to see more in this setting, though these books have been officially called a trilogy and this one does tie up all the loose ends. It's a very satisfying trilogy, all told. It's definitely on the YA side, and though there is romance, it's very clean (as you would expect from both YA novels and the fairy tales that are common for modern audiences).

One word of caution, though. This is the final book in a trilogy, and while it's technically possible to read it without the other two, I would not recommend it. The second book is almost one you could read without the first, but this one ties up the series arc, and really needs the foundation of the prior books. ( )
