Summary
A charming everyman and a mysterious something-under-the-bridge cross paths in a short fairy tale by the number one New York Times bestselling author of Eleanor & Park and the Simon Snow series.
It’s fate when a man accidentally drops his phone off the bridge. It’s fortune when it’s retrieved by a friendly shape sloshing in the muck underneath. From that day forward, as they share a coffee every morning, an unlikely friendship blooms. Considering the reality for the man above, where life seems perfect, and that of the sharp-witted creature below, how forever after can a happy ending be?
The Prince and the Troll is part of Faraway, a collection of retold fairy tales that take the happily-ever-after in daring new directions. Whether read or listened to in one sitting, prepare to be charmed, moved, enlightened, and frightened all over again.

What is that?
First, I was under the impression that I am downloading a kids' story. No.
Second, I just found the story really confusing.. it felt like the author was engaged at the beginning but at the end just really wanted to wrap up the whole story as soon as possible.
Weird. The type that I don't want to think about because it will give me nightmares 😅

Narrator is fine but the plot goes nowhere
Got this book for free on Kindle Unlimited.
Every time I thought it was going somewhere it didn’t. There are a lot of mentions of Starbucks, I feel like I know a quarter of the American menu. I genuinely do not know if this was even about a troll, but it wasn’t about a prince. If a story of loose ends is what you’re looking for, and no point this is it.
I don’t understand so much of what I read, so many questions, so few answers. I guess some of it was about climate change but who knows really? There are also new iPhones, “the road”, a dark wizard and crows mentioned nearly as much as any other point...
I hate giving 1 star reviews but even as a short story this was more like a fever dream than an actual published piece of penmanship.
The narration was fine but I felt that the story itself really made it difficult to get invested into the content.

What is this story?
I read the review of this story after I had finished this and I couldn’t agree with it more. I rarely give poor reviews but I got it this prime reading and I love fairy tales so I though it would be fun and I was more confused than anything. Though the narration is good I think Starbucks may have sponsored this book because of the amount menu Items that are mentioned. I kept thinking the story was going somewhere but it really didn’t. I honestly have have no idea what the moral of the story or if that was the point? Was it about big brother?, climate change? Using up resources? A road? If you like abstract stories you may enjoy this, but just a warning if you have read the menu at Starbucks that’s literally a third the story there.
