lucy_sage 's review for:
The Princess Will Save You
by Sarah Henning
I was excited to have a fun, light read with this book and.. well.. It was definitely light...
I found the plot predictable so everything intending to be dramatic and intense kind of missed their mark. The plot mysteries and the problems that the characters encountered were so easy solved that they were quasi unrealistic. As a result, all the stakes were completely lowered and my connection to the story wavered a lot.
I found the characters to be endearing yet stale nonetheless. I love characters that embody stereotypical fantasy tropes but what was weird here was the dialogue. I recognised the effort to creates varying degrees of intimacy between the characters and sometimes it worked very well, but most of the time I just repeated to myself "no one speaks like this".
Despite what I say I did enjoy it! It was a fun, quick read that whisked me away from reality for a while and I'm thankful for this. But my lack of investment in the book as a whole proves that either I read it at the wrong time or it was just not for me...
