A review by narteest
The Princess And The Captain by Anne-Laure Bondoux

5.0

I remembered when I first picked up this book. It was when I was in high school and with all the stress of everything I needed a book that was happy. This book doesn't really have a happy ending, but I'm not going to give it away. Since though in a sense the ending gives hope to the kingdom of Galnicia even though Malva loses someone she loves.

Despite the sad ending this story deserved my five star rating because the writing style is beautiful, it makes you want to finish the book. The characters too seem both real and distant to the reader. As though the reader can relate to them, which is something all good heros/heroines need.
The way it is written is definitely unlike most of the novels you see these days. Anne-Laure Bondoux writes a beautiful, fast-paced at times, and slow at others to match what is going, story of a Princess and her struggle against her wants and desires, and her duty to her kingdom.
