This was my least favorite so far of the Parker novels. Once the premise is set up (Parker and his gang rob an entire North Dakota town, yet the originator of the scheme has unknown motives), it plays out like clockwork, with no surprises. Well, what the scheme's originator does is supposed to be a surprise, but I saw that one coming down sixth avenue. (You ever think you've read TOO MANY books? That you're too practiced to fool?) The most interesting part of the book comes post-heist, where Parker must cold-bloodedly decide what to do with the potential squeaky wheels.
I started reading this book and thought it was such a creative twist on the Cinderella story that I had to read it with my kids. They loved it. It was fun to read this book with them. They thought it was so cool to get answers and details about why she had to obey orders and that she didn't just fall in love with the prince after one dance at a ball, but over years of getting to know each other. My 9 year old son loved the fantasy world with giants, elves, and ogres.
