haley_lott 's review for:

The Princess Trials by Cordelia Castel
3.0

2.5 stars. The summary on the book literally says “for fans of the hunger games and the selection” which I am, but maybe because I’ve already read those I just couldn’t get into this book. I found the second half to be better because it started to develop its own storyline separate from the selection, but I did find the trials themselves super confusing and unorganized. Really it just felt like a not as well written version of the selection.
Rounding up to three stars though because I think I would like it better if I hadn’t read the selection yet.
