This is my first book by M.J. Padgett as well as being the first time I have read a retelling for The Princess Who Never Smiled. This is a story I was completely unfamiliar with but I thought it was a very interesting book with many well written characters and an engaging story. I have enjoyed all the books in the Autumn Fairy Tales multi author series I have read so far and look forward to exploring more of them and discovering more authors I like from it in the future.
