A review by racheligala
The Secret Princess by Melanie Cellier

3.0

So... The book starts with bombarding you with lots of characters from different Kingdoms and it is a bit confusing, it is also starting with telling you of a story that happened a few years before which made me go and check of I missed something and it is a sequel- but I saw it's the first book in the series so I continued reading, later on, as the book progressed and many more characters names are dropped, I understand that I definitely missed something and checked a bit deeper- so it is indeed the first book of the series, but it is the THIRD series in this world, so maybe if I had read it in the right order I would have enjoyed the fan service, but as a new reader I felt left out of the fun..

Beside that the book was ok, plot wad cute though a bit unbelievable (the rulers are kind and the servants are happy etc), the romance is cute (though very vanilla) but the ending is weird, a bit unbelievable, a bit anticlimactic- where ALL the main characters are sitting in a room and TALKING about what happened.. aaaa.... Not great...
