McCaffrey was one of my favorites as a young teen, and I'm having some fun revisiting now. I don't think I read this as a kid, but it's the type of story I would have loved then: headstrong princess rejecting her rank, mysterious strangers. It's perhaps a bit simplistic by comparison to a lot of modern fantasy, but the fairy tale rings true and the illustrated pages are a nice touch.
