review 1: I love fairy tales, so I was hoping this would be another excellent fairy tale retold. It wasn't. It's still a pretty good book, just not what I was expecting. Sophie's parents died leaving her with no family and a guardian who didn't really want her. She's living at boarding school in London with her friends, beautiful French Delphine and brainy Marianne. She's always dreamed of going to Russia, wolves, and the cold so when she's given a chance to go to St. Petersburg during the break she goes. Upon arrival, she and her two friends are whisked away by their host aboard a train. She tells them they are going to the country, but leaves them on the train. They are thrown off the train in a blizzard and then brought to the Volkonsky Palace to meet and stay with the Vo... morelkonsky princess. Little does Sophie know the plans the princess has for her.
review 2: The Wolf Princess is a captivating tale that transports us to Russia with vivid imagery and powerful descriptions. While it maintains a fairytale feel, it rises to the next level with its depth of intrigue and mystery. Even if you figure out what's coming, it won't matter, because the experience of journeying there is worth every page. It's the writing and the world building that make this book a great read. less
