A review by carolynaugustyn
The Ordinary Princess by M.M. Kaye
2.0
2017 Book Challenge- Read a book where one of the main characters is royalty
Meh. I thought this was a fine book and I didn't dislike it exactly but I also didn't really gain anything from it. It was pleasant and fine but kind of boring to me. I get that it's a kid's book, so maybe that's part of why I wasn't thrilled by it, but I also would have found this to be boring as a kid. I'd much prefer to read a book about an ordinary princess who goes off and has adventures and slays a dragon and sails the world and all sorts of adventures. This one was lacking some excitement. Not a great princessy story to me.
