My Rating: 3 Stars
I wasn’t all that please with this book at
first, It was a slow go and It didn’t capture my attention as much as I wanted
it to. In saying that I was intrigue
with how this book mixed original with old clichés. I was drawn in with the
love story, I won’t go to much into that because it will ruin a good chunk of
the story. I liked how it was a slow fall and sweet.
As for our Princess, I’m not fully sold on
her yet. At the beginning she has this fire, but I soon founded that, it was
quickly put out. She acted like a spoiled brat for more than half the book and
I found that annoying. I understand her feelings of being trapped, I just felt
that it took to long for her to grow a back bone. I’m not even going to touch
on the relationship between her and her parents, I’d be here too long.
The flow of this story was slow at first,
and as I said It was annoying. At 50% I wasn’t feeling this story and I had to
force myself to keep going, I’m pretty sure I could have skipped most of the
drabble and in truth not miss a thing, plot wise. But I’m happy I stuck with
it, or I would have missed a right story full of hardship, love and betrayal,
but most of all, a story of self-acceptance. The princess came into her own,
stood up for what she wanted and end the end was rewarded for her bravery.
I highly recommend this book, I’m excited
for the next, to know what the sinister ending meant.
Happy Reading
