3.0
Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for providing an advanced copy.
I've been enjoying the Princeless series for years now, and while this volume doesn't advance the main plot at all (or even highlight the main characters!), it would be a great book to hand a tween or teen I wanted to get hooked on the series. Several self-contained stories give a bit of backstory or new adventures to Adrienne's sisters as everyone gears up for what sounds like a new battle/adventure coming up. As a longtime reader, I'm disappointed to have to wait even longer to get to that story arc, but as a librarian, this volume gives new readers an idea of the character development and tongue-in-cheek humor of the series.
