My Thoughts

I’m glad I had a chance to read THE FALSE PRINCESS. It was a very fun story. It kept me guessing until the end because of the twists and turns the author took us on. I did guess who the antagonist was pretty early on, but I didn’t realize the whys or hows which was enough to keep me interested and on the edge of my seat.

I loved the concept of the story–a girl believing she was the princess for her entire life and then finding out she wasn’t. It made for an interesting story and adventure. I thought it was fun to watch Sinda adapt and leave her life behind, yet still cling to a few things from her past. It was exciting to see her grow into her own person.

My favorite thing about this story, other than being a fantasy with magic, was no love triangle. It was refreshing to see another type of conflict in a story for once. I ended up loving the protagonist and her love interest that much more too.

The only thing I wish is that this were a series. I want more. But, at the same time, it’s nice that everything ended nicely. There are some questions left unanswered and some things left unexplored, so a sequel could be possible, but if not, the ending was very satisfying.
