Language: (3 swears, 0 “f”); Mature Content: PG13; Violence: PG13

BUYING ADVISORY: HS - OPTIONAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

By pretending to be the prince in order to save her country, Freya has a responsibility to act like the prince and put her own life before others. But Freya has seen people die, and she won’t stand for that any longer. With the power of the prince, Freya can be an influence for good, if only she has the courage.

My interest was piqued by volume one, and volume two did not disappoint in its continuation. Freya is in a tough spot, and I admire the changes she is trying to make as she sacrifices for her country in ways they are completely unaware of. While the story has some inconsistencies, it’s engaging enough to encourage readers to keep following the series. The mature content rating for nudity, and the violence rating for battle gore and death.
