evalains 's review for:
The Princess Knight
by Cait Jacobs
～3.5 stars
the princess knight is legally blonde meets celtic mythology in a fantasy setting. as soon as i saw the inspiration behind this book, i knew i had to read it!
i have to admit i was expecting more of a romcom vibe but while it does share some similarities with legally blonde, it was a lot more action-packed and focused on political conflicts which is why i think the new title fits much better (rip medievally blonde).
i loved the chronic illness rep and how inclusive the world is, the idea of an academy for warriors and a princess who wants to prove she's more than just a pretty face. i really appreciated how clía never lost her touch with femininity and her love for beauty, even as she grew stronger, and how she found ways to stay true to herself while also becoming a formidable warrior.
i liked the romance and thought it was cute but it also fell a bit flat for me. i wanted more buildup and depth to clía&ronan's relationship but a lot of times this read more as YA despite being categorized as adult fantasy.
overall, this was a solid debut and i really enjoyed it! i look forward to reading more from cait jacobs.
～thank you to harper voyager and netgalley for the arc!
