Happily Ever After...Or Happily Nevermore?Gisela's childhood was filled with laughter and visits from nobles such as the duke and his young son. But since her father's death, each day has been filled with nothing but servitude to her stepmother. So when Gisela meets the duke's son, Valten—the boy she has daydreamed about for years—and learns he is throwing a ball, she vows to attend, even if it's only for a taste of a life she'll never have. To her surprise, she catches Valten's eye. Though he is rough around the edges, Gisela finds Valten has completely captured her heart. But other forces are bent on keeping the two from falling further in love, putting Gisela in more danger than she ever imagined.

Ever since I heard that Melanie Dickerson was writing a novel based on the classic fairy tale Cinderella, I knew I really, really wanted to read it.

And after reading it, I can say that this book completely reached my highest expectations! This novel is for sure a read that any princess-lover shouldn'tHowdy, folks! I feel like I haven't written a review in ages! Ah, this thing called Real Life! Obligations! Responsibilities! Eh!But today, I want to take a few minutes out of this quiet Sunday afternoon and chat with you all about Melanie Dickerson's The Captive Maiden.

I'm rating the books by authors my students love. I keep these books in my classroom library & each year new young readers discover them. Melanie Dickerson is one of my students' favorite authors. I'm so glad she's prolific! (I teach literature in a small Christian high school.)

Giselas mother died before her little daughter could remember much about her; her father passed away when she was eight. By that time the father had remarried, and his widow, Evfemia, began to abuse Gisela, demoting her to servant status in the house that was her rightful inheritance. They lived outside the city of Hagenheim, and after the death of Giselas father, they got no visitors.The only visitor Gisela remembers well is Valten, the son of the Duke of Hagenheim who came to the house once to
I absolutely love this book. I have listened to it around 3-4 times and read once I think. This is the BEST Melanie Dickerson book I have ever read! *happy sigh* The era, the characters, the fairytale, the sweet romance, the jousting tournaments, his sisters. Sigh. I just love this one so so so much.UPDATE:Still as golden as ever. *sigh*
