The Escape of Princess Madeline by Kirstin Pulioff
2.0
2.5 stars
I felt that much of this book was cliched. There wasn't anything new here. To be fair, I have read a huge amount of fairy tales and fantasy, so it can be hard for me to call something original in this genre. But the whole running away because you don't want to get married has been done before; the Ordinary Princess is the story that comes to mind first.
I thought that Madeline acted very juvenile for her age. I didn't really like reading about her character; not because I didn't relate to her or anything like that (though I didn't), her character simply didn't hold my interest.
On the bright side, it was a quick read, and didn't take up too much of my time, so I am thankful for that.
I am not sure I would recommend this, but I could see younger children enjoying this, so perhaps I would.
