Lorehaven reviews Heartless
Princess Una has finally come of age. She eagerly waits for a prince to come and pay his respects to her father and ask for her hand. However, she is disappointed by the arriving princes who fail to win her heart, especially Aethelbald, prince of Farthestshore. He is so boring, even as he warns of a dangerous dragon lurking in the land. Anne Elisabeth Stengl’s Heartless (2010) takes the form of a fairy tale while creating a completely new story to delight and inspire. Lyrical prose composes a stirring tale of adventure and romance, with clear inspiration from Scripture as well as the best themes of Grimm’s fairy tales, Andrew Yang, and George MacDonald.
Best for: Teen and adult fans of fairy tales, biblical allegory, or romantic fantasy.
Discern: Brief descriptions of violence from war and dragon attacks, people transformed into monsters.
About the Lorehaven Guild
The Lorehaven Guild serves a community of heroes who gather to celebrate Christian-made fantastical fiction with delight and discernment.
Guild heroes can join monthly Main Quest parties that travel into the fantastical worlds of new books. We will explore these stories’ beauty, goodness, and truth (and opposites!), applying their meanings to the real world of our ultimate Author.
All of our Lorehaven quest guides follow a Sacred Scrolls faith statement.
Every hero must uphold the Code of Honor to respect Jesus and other heroes, avoid vulgar language, celebrate great stories, and keep to the Quest road.
