Does she want to? And how will she deal with these deadly knights who are after her head?"

My Rating: 4/5

This was such a cute read. I really enjoyed the plot points and the development of our two main characters. I also was excited to see that there was some world-building going on. We got to see some of King Ash's background and why he might be the way he is. I also enjoyed seeing another sister and hearing about how different they were. We are going to see so many of Adrienne's siblings and I just can't wait. Also, this Black Knight and Elves plot could get interesting.

Thanks for reading,

My Rating: 4/5


This was a really cute first installment. It really is a feminist princess story, one that I think so many young girls should read. I think it really kicks in for someone my age who still grew up with Disney Princess unreal expectations, but then sees how the world is changing in the most positive way for women. We're not quite there, but we're taking steps to become more than just a princess waiting for a rescuer and that's saying something.

Thanks for reading,
