I think I might have been not the perfect audience for this book. This is supposed to be a hommage to the works of Andre Norton, which I am not familiar with, so I think I missed out on a lot of references and context.
Still, this was a quick and enjoyable read, telling the story of feisty Sara who in a fun reversal of stereotypes saves the prince and protects him from further harm.
This one's told as a classical adventure type story and I think is well suited for readers down to middle grade (but for adults as well!). The prose is very straightforward, the plot engaging and I absolutely loved the part when Sara comes to court and the humour with which this clash of cultures is told.
This book definitely deserves more readers and was a nice, light read for me!
