I feel like this movie was unapologetically thrashed by critics for things that it wasn't responsible for. That's not to say that the movie didn't have it's own issues, as all films do. But the vile hatred that it received for stories told decades ago was unwarranted and frankly disappointing.

Truthfully, there is enough going on in this movie that can be faulted that it didn't need to have old news rehashed (I'm talking to you weird Palpatine). But again, as a stand alone film it was quite good. And as the finale to the Skywalker saga, it did it's job.
  
Such a cute series of books!!
 I always love going back to cross roads (each series is a stand alone) but they all have interconnections if that makes sense :)
 Each of these Authors brings a unique story to the table, they all have different ways of showing emotions, character mentalities, and creative stories. I truly enjoy reading their stories and connecting with their characters.
I recommend putting this series on your To Be Read list.
 I volunteered to read this book in return for my honest feedback, the thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

Once I put my other books aside and concentrated on this I found it a really easy read; the chapters are short and there is always something to keep you interested.

I really enjoyed it.

I think without that Epilogue, it could have been a stand alone story but because of it, I understand more about it being a trilogy. I believed that end bit! I was feeling quite happy and relieved for the Gladers. More fool me!

I have the second and third book but I'm not going to read them just yet, maybe when I get back off holiday

Set in the Medieval Era, Annabel and Lord Ranulf will steal your heart in this unique story that mirrors the story of Beauty and the Beast. From a nasty "Gaston" to a sweet young boy, and a caring housekeeper...The heart of the story reminds us that it is not our appearance or circumstances that define us...But our heart.

If you have read some (or all) of these books, you know that each novel can stand alone. But ultimately, they all intertwine. You can see the Family Tree on Melanie's website. I highly recommend this story and hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

I purchased a print copy of The Merchant's Daughter. This review is based on the audio version which I borrowed from my local library. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
