A princess fleeing an arranged marriage teams up with a snarky commoner to foil a rebel plot in B. R. Myers’ Rogue Princess, a gender-swapped sci-fi YA retelling of Cinderella.
Princess Delia knows her duty: She must choose a prince to marry in order to secure an alliance and save her failing planet. Yet she secretly dreams of true love, and feels there must be a better way. Determined to chart her own course, she steals a spaceship to avoid the marriage, only to discover a handsome stowaway.
All Aidan wanted was to “borrow” a few palace trinkets to help him get off the planet. Okay, so maybe escaping on a royal ship wasn’t the smartest plan, but he never expected to be kidnapped by a runaway princess!
Sparks fly as this headstrong princess and clever thief battle wits, but everything changes when they inadvertently uncover a rebel conspiracy that could destroy their planet forever.
My Review:
The Rogue Princess was not what I was expecting when I
climbed aboard that spaceship with Princess Delia and Aidan and began my own
journey of getting to know who Princess Delia and Aidan are.
Princess Delia stole a spaceship trying to escape getting
married. There was a number of Princes from other planets vying for Princess
Delia’s hand in marriage. Princess Delia was expected to pick a Prince to marry
a Prince that could help save her people and planet. But Princess Delia didn’t
want to get married especially to someone she didn’t love. She had dreamed all
her life of marrying her Princes Charming.
The whole time I was reading Rogue Princess I kept trying to
make my own assumptions as to how the story was going to turn out in the end
but by my calculations I was way off base. No matter how hard I tried to figure
out the end with different scenarios running around in my head I was totally
wrong with each and every guess I made. I believe that was one of the biggest
twists that I have ever seen before. I never expected a twist like that.
But it was great and it worked so well. I am still dreaming
over that twist.
Rogue Princess pulled me into its depths from the very
beginning and kept me glued to the pages with all the action and the twists
around every corner. I really enjoyed being on this journey with Princess Delia
and Aidan as they got to know each other and getting to know them myself. I
can’t wait to see what they have in store for us as their journey continues in
the next book.
