The False Princess by Eilis O'Neal
4.0
"The False Princess" is not your typical princess story, which makes it all the more intriguing. Nalia spends her entire life living in the palace, thinking she is the princess of Thorvaldor, only to find out on her sixteenth birthday that she is, in fact, a decoy princess put in place to protect the real royal girl who has been in hiding for all this time.
O'Neal's tale is finely written, and reminds me of the YA from my own teenage years, which included talents such as Tamora Pierce and Gail Carson Levine. She does a good job of creating an interesting plot that stands apart from other princess tales.
