The Captive Maiden (Fairy Tale Romance Series)

This book was absolutely amazing!!! It is written after the story Cinderella but is completely unique and unpredictable. It has many twists and surprises. I fell in love with the characters from the beginning! If you want to read this book I would suggest to first read The Fairest Beauty and then read this one. They are both amazing books by Melanie Dickerson and i would suggest any of her books to you as she is a great writer!

Melanie Dickerson has done a splendid job of retelling the classic tale of Cinderella (with some incredible flare). I am in love with her ability to incorporate the Christian faith into her writing in a believable and enlightening way.

The story was good. They go through quite an ordeal but learn lessons through it. It was a little drawn out and of course they never tell us anything after they are together. ;-) Overall it is a good read and I will definitely recommend to other readers.

Melanie Dickerson is an artist at retelling fairy tales. I have loved all of her books so far, and this was no exception. The Captive Maiden was a beautiful retelling of Cinderella, and a great addition to any book lovers collection.

I stumbled on Melanie Dickerson's books a few months ago. I love them all! They are clean, exciting and romantic, which are rare to find! God-honoring without being too "preachy", not that I mind preachy... I definitely will keep reading all of her books in future, and can hardly wait for the next one!!!

I absolutely loved this book. Cover to cover Gisela was a captivating character with a lot of spunk and determination. I promise, I don't intend to spoil it for anyone reading this. This book was my favorite of all the other books written by her! I am excited for her next book, "The Princess Spy."

The Captive Maiden is the retelling of Cinderella. It was a romantic story with a great leading man and the beginning had some cute parts. The writing is a little choppy and juvenile and has lots of repeaters. I love it when they take a familiar fairy tale and twist it. This one was predictable and way too close to the original story except the end that dragged on way too long. I just didn't connect with these characters and I just felt bored most of the time:{ But I did finish it and it did keep my interest. I think my teen would really like it. This is a clean romance with some references to God but not a specific religion.

I absolutely loved this book! It was filled with sweet romance and was full of action! Melanie Dickerson's writing captivates you and keeps you interested from first page to last page. Fantastic novel!!! Highly Recommended!

This book was a wonderful retelling of the Cinderella Story. I normally do NOT like these types of books as they seem to always muck up the original, however Melanie Dickerson has mastered the technique and I am extremely excited to read some of her other works.

The Captive Maiden was a wonderful story! I love the relation to Cinderella yet the Dickerson added her on twist to it. I have read all of Melainie Dickerson's books and this is one of the best. I recommend it to anyone who like clean, Christian stories that are full of romance and adventure.
