kebreads 's review for:

The Princess and the Bear by Mette Ivie Harrison

5.0

---

I really enjoyed reading this book. I felt the story and plot line were very solid. I could relate to the characters and was drawn into the story. And I thought it was a beautiful story. And I found their mixture of human and animal intriguing and their struggle between their two sides fascinating. I liked seeing how they helped each other become better and how they both grew throughout the novel.

Each chapter alternated between the bear and the hound’s points of view. For the most part I liked this, but sometimes I would want to see an event though the other’s eyes. Also, sometimes the story would jump forward in time before I felt ready for that to happen, though I think this ties back to wanting to see an event through the other point of view or at least get the other’s take on what had happened. I do realize, however, that doing so would have made the book much longer.

Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book. And I thought it a great follow-up to The Princess and the Hound.

Rating: 4.5 stars – Highly Recommend
Content: A little violence, female dog referred to by word that is also a swear word
