★★★☆☆
Middle grade, close to YA. Told as a mix of a fairytale, a straightforward story, and notes found by archivists in a later age (which was nicely done, and I'd have loved that as a kid!). A sweet story with everything a fairytale needs: Prophecies, evil kings, worse advisors, children growing up, loving parents (or step-parents), weird non-human magic that can transform people into wolves, and a bond between twins. Bravery and goodness and songs and much more. Sweet and enjoyable. Three stars because I find that middle-grade books just aren't great for me anymore, but it's a really good book – I was particularly surprised by the adoptive father of the protagonist having a stoke, and the consequences being shown empathetically but clearly.
