"Edward (long live the king) is the King of England. He’s also dying, which is inconvenient, as he’s only sixteen and he’d much rather be planning for his first kiss than considering who will inherit his crown. Jane (reads too many books) is Edward’s cousin, and far more interested in books than romance. Unfortunately for Jane, Edward has arranged to marry her off to secure the line of succession. And there’s something a little odd about her intended. Gifford (call him G) is a horse. That is, he’s an Eðian (eth-y-un, for the uninitiated). Every day at dawn he becomes a noble chestnut steed—but then he wakes at dusk with a mouthful of hay. It’s all very undignified."
The storyline hooked me instantly, it sounded fascinating and I was very intrigued to see how the writers had rewritten history.
The characters we meet are all so lovely, especially our main characters Gifford, Edward and Jane. You almost instantly like them reading the first chapters about them, and grow on them even more as you continue the book. Most of the other side-figures were also lovely!
The sarcasm and humor that was used in this book was on point. It was used at the right timing, and it had the right amount of it throughout the whole book.
For me the downside was the ending, where the whole book took it's time to build up, I felt like the ending was rushed. Way to rushed, I think for that reason the ending was a lot less action packed and exciting as it could have been.
