Amazing!!
I absolutely loved this book! While I accidentally started the series in the middle it has only made me want to go back to the first book to listen to the series in its entirety. The author wrote a splendid retelling of Cinderella with a perfect balance action, adventure, and innocent romance! While parts of the story seemed rushed and cheesy the overall feeling of the story was nothing short of classic fairytale for me. I definitely encourage anyone who enjoys fairytales and romance to give it a shot!

The Captive Maiden is CAPTIVATING
This one is by far the best in this series with The Fairest Beauty a close second. I didn't want to stop listening. Every second was awesome!

Enjoyable story
I loved it overall but there were parts of the story that I felt were dragged on and repetitive. I mean how many times are you going to go back and get caught by the "bad guy". Also How many times is she going to blame herself for something that OBVIOUSLY was not about her or her fault. Those were my 2 biggest faults. The story was good but it was just dragged on near the end.

Lacklustre storyline
I have listened to two other Melanie Dickerson audiobooks, this is my least favorite so far. I felt the storyline was less polished, quite amateurish. I was cringing by the last quarter of the book. I will possibly try another of her books, as I like the author’s ideas of retelling fairytales.
