Title: not worth your money
Review: I am a very large fan of Merecedes Lackey, but this book was absolutely horrible. She spends forever on the exposition, forming an intricate plot that isn't actually all that interesting. The actual story of Swan Lake didn't begin until 2/3 into the book, when the prince finally gets around to going hunting and meeting Odette. I found that the uncanny way our heroine's name "Odile" was so close to Odette's, as well as the fact that they were look-alikes, was a little to coincidental to believe. The premise of the book, the Baron's (Odile's father) obsession with punishing all women who are unfaithful, untruthful, etc., is rather farfetched, as is his method of giving the evil queen her come-uppance. If you are in the mood for a Mercedes lackey book, I recommend her Heralds of Valedmar series, but avoid this book at all costs.
