The following notes may contain spoilers.)Plot and Setting: 4 -- Plot has unique elements and no major holes, but a few shaky bits and/or a slight lack of focus. It's a retelling of Sleeping Beauty, and I did enjoy it a lot, but in changing the magical elements into something more plausible, it ended up being a bit soap-opera-ish. I'm often hesitant about stories that bring in demons, but in this case I felt that aspect could've been played up a bit more, and the drama regarding Rupert toned down. Setting is clear and believable. Timeline may be a bit hard to follow. Some good points of reference at the beginning and end, but it was a bit unclear in the middle.Characters: 5 -- Relatable, realistic, interesting, dynamic characters. Rose's image of herself and her goals changes multiple times through the story, and Wilhelm undergoes some turmoil and change, too. They are both definitely good people, but their struggles make them easy to relate to and dynamic in great ways. I liked their strengths and their vulnerabilities. Even minor characters have depth, as do the relationships between characters. I feel like we get to know multiple facets of quite a few minor characters, from Rupert to Hildy and even Moncore.Mechanics and Writing: 4.5 -- A handful of typos, punctuation issues, or word errors, but nothing that seriously hinders understanding. A few issues with compound words (eg towns people that should be townspeople), but mainly some trouble with formatting near the end, when a lot of paragraph breaks got misplaced. I also wished the breaks between sections were a bit more obvious. Intelligent use of POV (mainly Rose and Wilhelm, plus a few bits of Moncore near the end). Skillful writing that adds to the story.Redeeming Value: 5 -- Well-developed, central, uplifting themes. Lessons on worth, duty, and trusting God to make his plans clear rather than trying to force things to go as we wish. Also a glimpse of Moncore summoning demons--and Wilhelm banishing them in Jesus' name. Sex, alcohol, violence, etc, are not glorified at all; they are present, but with clear moral guidelines. On the negative side, Rose and Hildy fight off attacks from men, Gilbert sought violent revenge (which he soon came to regret), and Rupert asks Rose to be his mistress. More positively, Wilhelm loves Rose, but recognizes that he shouldn't even think about her too much while he's engaged to Salomea.Personal Enjoyment: 5 -- I loved it. It made me feel in all the best ways, and leaves me content and satisfied. One I'll definitely read again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Charming read *by S***4 on Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2024* I enjoyed it. Beautiful clean romance 🥰 Enjoyable plot and characters. Lovely setting. Not much to complain about, I really enjoyed it. It’s not a complex story and the source of angst is relatively based on cliches, but I really appreciate that there was never a dull moment, the book was a page turner start to finish, and overall it was well done. I do recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Good read *by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2024* I borrowed two books from my granddaughter out of state. It was less costly to buy these from Amazon and send them to her then send back the original books. I highly recommend. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1219918-the-healers-apprentice](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1219918-the-healers-apprentice) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
