Title: Pretty good, but not intended for experienced readers
Review: This book is about a plucky princess, who I found entertaining. Patricia Wrede's writing style is lively.However, the plot isn't very good. This is a classic "plot coupon" story. The princess collects a bunch of stuff, and miraculously it is all used in the end. This happens in Harry Potter too, but in that book the character's morals are tested as well. Here the character's morals are never tested at all. I found the ending predictable and forgetable.All that said, this book is probably a good read for someone who hasn't read hundreds of books already. More experienced readers will probably be entertained by the style but bored by the plot.
