I really enjoyed this retelling of “The Princess Bride!” I will say that I have it four stars because it’s pace is slow through most of the book. However, if you have some patience and trust the process, you’ll enjoy this one too! I hadn’t realized this book was a part of a series lol so the ending now makes a lot more sense. Can’t wait to read the next one!
Oh my!! The roles in here is something I wish to read on more books
I can’t be more happier then I am right now with this book. This is a retelling of The princess Bride and I was so excited when I read about this book, honestly I was prepared not to liked as much as I did. This book is going to make you laugh and cry, sometimes because of how some characters would conducted their self’s on a almost funny way and another ones because on how mad they are. A princess who’s risking her own life to save her loved friend was so epic and so sweet to read.
Can’t wait to read the next book,

Idea of the book seemed great. Girl saves boy instead of the very common and boring damsel in distress trope. Unfortunately this was not executed well. Very bland. None of the characters had a personality. Not memorable or engaging.
I liked the story a lot. However, there was little character development, so the reader didn’t really know any of the characters. Also, the book barley mentioned Amarande’s or Luca’s life before the book begins, so we understand nothing of their relationship. The ending is also not my favorite. I liked the adventure however, and the side characters were great and so interesting. There are just a lot of areas in the story that need much more development.
The message was clear and entertaining. Princess Amarande is what readers want from a heroine who can save herself. The plot has enough twist to simply be the opposite of tropes.
I felt like the characters were really bland, and there were way too many names I could not pronounce.
Thank you thank you thank you Tor Teen for sending me a copy of this!!!
The Princess Will Save You was a wonderfully done retelling of the Princess Bride. It had all the elements of good storytelling for me: wonderful writing, ship-worthy romance, political intrigue, and action.
Lets just jump right in. Spoilers ahead.
So this book took me completely by surprise. If you see reviews of the books I’ve been reading, you know that I just haven’t cared about any of them really, which sucks because they all deserved better (I will be rereading them later). But anyways the point is that I was cavernously deep in a slump. Like, I didn’t even want to read. I was forcing myself through books that all felt entirely mediocre until I finally decided to quit and immerse myself heavily in animal crossing for like 2 weeks. Nothing was grabbing me or helping me out of this slump.
But this one did.
I’m not sure what it was, but The Princess DID save me. Amarande was a wonderful heroine who honestly made me swoon. We stan a queen who doesn’t take any crap from anyone and she did NOT. Not ever. She never faltered. It was her way or the highway. I loved it. How many protagonists actually speak their mind every. single. time. Without holding back? Not many. She was an insta-love for me and honestly Luca just step aside, I’LL marry her. She’s got me wrapped around her royal fingers.
Now moving onto the romance, I enjoyed Luca and Ama. They had a precious bond that was rooted from childhood and had grown throughout the years. I will say my one issue was that I wanted it to feel more ALIVE. Their bond wasn’t as impactful as I wanted it to be, but I still felt it, especially later.
Now Luca as a character felt a little bit underdone in the beginning. He barley spoke and I wasn’t able to gage his personality like I wanted to. Not like my wife Ama. But I will say as the story grew, so did he, and in the end I definitely came to care about his journey.
SPOILERS FOR REAL NOW.
Him being the son of Oxtana...or however you spell it...whoa. Didn’t expect it. Wasn’t ready. Also was ready. I’m intrigued with how Sarah will weave the second book now that we know he is the ruler of Torrence, and how that will affect Luca as a character.
Back to my love, Ama. Her killing Renald like the boss she is made me almost clap. One thing I love about her is her ability to talk big and back it up with actions. Sarah actually gives her an opportunity to show how talented and ruthless she really could be if pushed to be so. God I just SWOON.
Anyways my fingers hurt so I’ll end the review here, the princess Will Save You is 100% worth the read.
