Hey everyone!! I’m so excited!! Today is the book birthday for the final book of the Hagenheim series: “The Peasant’s Dream”! I was so excited about this book, even though I’m saddened to see the series end. Just look at that cover though! Isn’t it gorgeous?!
That being said, I’m so excited to be sharing my review with you today, so be warned, spoilers ahead!
Having read every other book of Melanie Dickerson’s Hagenheim Series, I was so excited to receive my complimentary copy of “The Peasant’s Dream. I couldn’t wait to read the story of sweet little Adela. Although I am sad to see this series come to an end, I have enjoyed following the paths of each and every character. Thank you and Kudos to Mrs. Dickerson! Adela is the youngest daughter of Wilhelm and Rose, Duke and Duchess of Hagenheim. She feels her life has been nothing but sheltered, and wishes to see the world, and have her own adventure, just as her siblings all have. Yet, she knows her parents will never let her leave Hagenheim, or her sheltered castle existence. When she manages to sneak out of the castle by taking her maids clothing, she meets a young woodcarver named Fredrick and can’t help but feel a spark for this caring, thoughtful, sweet man. Fredrick is a young woodcarver from outside Hagenheim with dark scars. His father, a drunk, abuses him, his mother, and his sisters frequently. Seeking to escape the family farm and his hateful father, Fredrick moves his mother and sisters to Hagenheim. While at the market trying to sell his wooden carvings, he meets Lady Adela in disguise. He is instantly drawn to the young beauty and starts falling in love with her. Unfortunately, as hidden secrets soon arise from both Adela and Fredrick, and someone seeks to keep them permanently apart, will love conquer all, or will Fredrick and Adela be destined to give up their dreams of a happy life together? I really enjoyed this book. Although a bit lacking in some of the action and excitement I’ve seen in the last two books, this book fit Adela to perfection. I wish there had been a bit more action, and a bit more explanation to the “reverse Cinderella” theory, but otherwise this is an excellent Christian romance. I can’t wait to see what the next series Mrs. Dickerson will have for her dedicated readers! I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
