The Mystery Princess

I guessed part of the secret early on but still enjoyed the journey. I'm curious if others found the plot surprises effective or too obvious.

Her take on the Cinderella story feels modern but still true to the fairy tale roots. I wonder what inspired her to focus on the princess's perspective.

Every detail about the political intrigue and court life seemed well thought out. I'm curious if the author created a detailed lore bible or if it grew organically during writing.
