Goodreads Synopsis:
A romantic retelling of a classic fairy tale about a beautiful herbalist and a lovestruck prince.
Shirayuki is an herbalist famous for her naturally bright-red hair, and the prince of Tanbarun wants her all to himself! Unwilling to become the prince’s possession, she seeks shelter in the woods of the neighboring kingdom, where she gains an unlikely ally—the prince of that kingdom! He rescues her from her plight, and thus begins the love story between a lovestruck prince and an unusual herbalist.
Shirayuki is determined to help Kiharu and her bird Popo prove their necessity to the kingdom. She even goes so far as to risk her life to see Popo home! When she succeeds, Zen kisses Shirayuki for the first time! Now she can’t get that kiss out of her head. Will she be able to keep her cool around the man she’s falling for?

Review:
I didn't expect the romance to happen so quickly. Both characters
know how they feel, really, and they've been flirting around it since
the beginning. It's kind of nice to get it out in the open so
quickly, and it's a really sweet way that they do it, too.
This series takes its time with the important moments, but also with
how it progresses the plots. It's a thoughtful, pretty slowness, an ease
of pace. It's taken me a bit to get into it, but it's starting to
grow on me.
There's still the hint of a triangle forming, though at this point
they're ignoring it, I think.
I still want to get to know the
side characters better. We get to see some of Zen and Mitsuhide's
past, how their friendship started, and it was nice. Kiki is still a
bit mystery at this point, though, and I would like to know more
about her.
This series is growing on me a bit. I'm getting there, I think.
