Undercover Princess by Connie Glynn
4.0
This book was smiling at me for a while already, but I had been so clever to put it on a wishlist for a bookswap, which meant that I had to wait until I would either get it or would know for sure I wouldn't get it. But, I GOT IT and that made me so incredibly happy!
Just like reading the book made me very happy. The book is for sure a very light read. If you go in there for the mystery and the danger, you will probably be disappointed. If you however go in there for the friendship (or more?) between two amazing girls and the joy and horrors of being a princess, this is the perfect book for you.
The book is clearly aimed at the younger YA readers. If it had been in Dutch, I would have made my cousin read it, because she'd love it to pieces. The language used in the book is quite easy and there's quite some tell don't show at times. I have to admit, it didn't bother me that much, because it's a princess story. I wasn't expecting a very deep, layered, complicated and high standard book to begin with.
It's just cute and innocent and adorable. Especially Lottie and her excitement over everything at court is so endearing and I really felt for her. And I love the contrast between Ellie and Lottie, with them seeming to be so different, but they still have so much in common. I also really enjoyed the fact that the romance in this book was not even much of a plot and barely there. I didn't really miss it, because the friendships and slowly blossoming feelings were a joy to read anyway.
I'm very curious to read the second book and I hope there will be a translation soon, so my cousin can read it!
