I love a well written fantasy book and The False Princess is exactly that. In this case it’s a classic kind of fairy tale re-told with fascinating characters and a well-planned plot.We are in a fictional kingdom and throughout the book we learn more and more about the history of Thorvaldor. Magic is...
I wasn't in love with this book. I can't put my finger on it either, which is frustrating; however, there was nothing that really jumped out at me that made me dislike it...it just never grabbed me.That said, if you're into YA Fantasy, you liked Ella Enchanted, you'll probably like this book.*NOTE* ...
*Rating* 3.5 stars*Genre* YA Fantasy*Review* The False Princess, by Eilis O’Neal, is a YA Fantasy with a historical twist set in the Twelfth Century. The protagonist is 16 year old Sinda Azaway. When we first meet Sinda, she is living as Princess and heir to the throne of Thorvaldor with the name of...
I actually made a review yesterday but the connection went awry and it got lost.The False Princess is a fantasy YA novel with magic and the allure of political intrigue that was prevalent throughout the chapters. It have slightly romantic undertones but the characterization and words flow were appal...
Princesses! Wizards! Prophecies! Best friends! Secrets! Magic! Lies! In theory, this book had most everything I look for in a fun fantasy book so obviously I was excited to read the book. While reading I found the book to be a bit on the blah side. It took me quite a while to really get into the sto...
At first, reading this book, I didn't think it was going to be anything spectacular. It does get off to a bit of a slow start, with a few clichés thrown in. But as the plot picked up, I found I couldn't stop reading, and by the end, I didn't want it to be over.The plot is kind of like Spindle's End ...
This book started off slowly, making me wonder if I was ever going to really like Sinda as a character. Her passive reactions to some very emotionally charged situations were off-putting, to say the least. However, once she "found herself" (or more specifically, her magic), she became almost an enti...
The story was very exciting, full of intrigue and emotional hardship. There were a few places in the story that were so intense I had to fling myself through the next few pages to see what was going to happen next. I had a great time with The False Princess! I liked it, for the most part. Read the r...
2.5 stars. This book reminded me strongly of something I would have read 10-12 years ago, before the YA speculative fiction field was so diverse, something that would have been at home with Robin McKinley, early Tamora Pierce, Patricia Wrede's Enchanted Forest Chronicles, and Ella Enchanted. This is...
After what seems like a drought, two books in a row that I've really enjoyed, and both refreshing at that.This was one of those books that I would have loved knowing even less about going in than I was given. When I sat down to read it I felt that the flap had given me too much information and altho...
