This is the most fun I've had with a book in a while! Diana's mother literally used bedtime story fairy tales to prepare her for her future, and I was delighted to be along for the ride - horseback riding, slowly revealed super powers, library research, an almost castle, a haunted house, a mysterious hero who likes her smarts and independence but opens door for her and comes to her rescue when needed... It is almost 600 pages long and the first book in a trilogy, so not every question you have will be answered. I can't wait to spend more time with some of the secondary characters that were introduced near the end of this book.
