About this audiobook
Two princesses. One prince. And the war has just begun.
Once upon a time . . .
Princess Ava was sent to a neighboring kingdom as a lady-in-waiting to her sister, their future queen. Until a runaway horse, a case of amnesia and a cold-hearted king conspire to bring her to the prince's attention.
Now the prince believes Ava is his bride, and her sister is just a serving maid. One thing is certain: the prince must marry one of the princesses, or there will be war.
But when all's fair in love and war . . . who will win the battle for the prince's heart?
Contains mature themes.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Fly is a Goose Girl retelling, I have not read Goose Girl (I hadn’t even heard of it) so I don’t know how similar they are to one another.
When two warring kingdoms seek alliance by marriage two princesses who are half-sisters are sent to replace the King and Queen after the Queen has an accident. The younger sister is less favoured, the daughter of basically a peasant so will be the Goose Girl. On the way the older sister is thrown from her horse and hits her head leading to amnesia so once at the castle the younger girl takes the older sister’s place.
As the tale goes on it all comes out and there is, of course, a HEA.
It was fast-paced and quite a short listen. I cannot compare from the original but I did enjoy it and want to read the original now. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I am not very familiar with the story Goose Girl that this was based on but I liked the characters of Ava and Gun as well as the Empress (Guns mother). I didn't like a lot of the other characters as this story had a lot of villains and dark elements in it but I look forward to reading the next book in this series and what happens with Ava's sister Bianca.Series Character and Story Connections for Fly: Goose Girl Retold (Romance a Medieval Fairytale, #3)The story of Yun and Ava's son is in Dance: Cinderella Retold (Book 02)Bianca's story at the Summer Palace is in Revel: Twelve Dancing Princesses Retold (Book 04)
