The Princess Will Save You by Sarah Henning
The Princess Will Save You is a YA fantasy adventure, an homage to The Princess Bride in which a princess must rescue her stable boy true love, from the acclaimed author of Sea Witch, Sarah Henning.
When a princess’s commoner true love is kidnapped to coerce her into a political marriage, she doesn’t give in—she goes to rescue him.
When her warrior father, King Sendoa, mysteriously dies, Princess Amarande of Ardenia is given what would hardly be considered a choice: Marry a stranger at sixteen or lose control of her family’s crown.
But Amarande was raised to be a warrior—not a sacrifice.
In an attempt to force her choice, a neighboring kingdom kidnaps her true love, stable boy Luca. With her kingdom on the brink of civil war and no one to trust, she’ll need all her skill to save him, her future, and her kingdom.
I think I’ve had this on my TBR for the last four years. I always plan on picking it up and then never do. I figured I would start a finished series to read early this year and I went with this. At the time of writing, I’m a little into book two. I kind of dislike myself for waiting so long. I ended up really enjoying this.
I really liked both Amarande and Luca. I honestly liked the action stuff more than anything in this though. I thought it kept the pace going fairly well. I would definitely suggest being ready for book two right away. This one ended a bit crazy.
I gave this book 4 1/2 stars.
Have you read this? Is it on your TBR?
