The plot of a bride with a harsh past who is about to embrace a new, better experience is nothing new. Even so, this story managed to keep me entertained from start to finish. The characters are written to make us fall in love with them, whether it's Marie with her innocent ideas, the incredibly cool Mio, or Karos, the love-struck young man who is hard not to feel fondness for. Anastasia's fate is equally pitiful. Many of the events made us feel sad, and if the story's progression had gone to the extreme, it wouldn't be surprising if we cried a river over it. The ending wasso beautiful that it made me want to know what happens next. Also, the little girl who seems like she's about to start a relationship with the prince is so ship-worthy it makes you want to go find the next part to read.
