About the book:
A PRINCESS
A STABLE BOY
A QUEST
When her father dies, Princess Amarande is given an ultimatum: Marry the leader of one of the four neighboring kingdoms, or lose her crown—and possibly her life. And to force her hand, her beloved, the stable boy Luca, is kidnapped.
But Amarande was raised to be a warrior, not a sacrifice.
And nothing will stop her from saving her true love and rescuing her kingdom.
The acclaimed author of Sea Witch turns the classic damsel-in-distress tale on its head with this story of adventure, identity, and love.
Rating: 4 of 5 stars
"Love doesn’t know anything about class, nor should it be bound by it."
This... did not go anywhere I expected. I don't know what to tell you but dammit I need book two. Now.
The Princess Will Save You brought forth an original, unexpected tale. I was wholly invested in the story from start to finish. This was filled with action and excitement and more action and more excitement. I was so caught up in what was happening, I finished this in one sitting. Sara Henning wrote so beautifully. The plot was nothing short of addictive and exciting. The mystery and political maneuvers and intrigue and the twists and the not knowing who to trust- everything made this unputdownable. I honestly don't have anything but high praise for this wonderfully addictive book.
Amarande has got to be the fiercest, boldest, most unexpected heroine ever. I love her. Luca is just the sweetest, honestly. Ula and Osana I hope are more involved in book two. They're really kind of awesome. I don't know what the heck is happening with the Warlord, Koldo, Ines or even Taillefer (I really don't like him though so I couldn't care less if he just keels over and dies). There are SO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS. And that ending. THAT ENDING. What in the eff.
I am so ready to sell my soul for book two.
I received an e-arc via Netgalley to read and review.
