An overall quick, light, and pleasant read. We are introduced to a world where some people can talk to animals, but not all animals, because each animal's language is a little bit different. I like how the "speaking" abilities were handled.

Ani wasn't a wilting damsel in distress waiting to be rescued. She had some strength and depth, which was nice. Sometimes she came off as a bit too good - no one seemed to really dislike her unless they were evil, so she could've used more flaws - but overall she was a likable character.

The romance was predictable but expected given the fairy tale theme, and the lack of sex was appreciated. I enjoyed this book enough that I look forward to reading the series.
