review 1: I really liked this book. I was expecting to be slightly disappointed, as the other books in the series were light romances, and it seemed like this one would have no romance at all. However, I loved Kim's perspective, the plot was super fun, and it still managed to keep some s...

review 1: A thoroughly boring book. I think it's the way the author writes in this book which makes you feel like nothing is going on. And really, nothing goes on in the book until the second to last chapter, in which the 3 princess friends go harrying off to get back a snotty princess t...

review 1: This book is not bad in any mean as Sherwood Smith is not capable of writing a bad book. The rating is however a relative score to this author's lofty standard. Again, any adjective I assign to the book is not in an absolute sense, but a relative one. It's a mess, that's what thi...

review 1: I didn't realize until after I started reading this book that it is the most recent book in the series. Lilah is the 12-year-old daughter of a noble who chafes against her protected life. One night she assumes the guise of a poor boy and goes into the village near her home to f...

review 1: I liked the story, but I hope the copy editor lost their job. There were so many pronouns missing or misplaced, words spelled wrong, characters that have left the room, then join in the conversation, but then return to the room since they weren't there. Ridiculous mistakes all th...

review 1: Such a good little book. How I like you, little book. I love when I am in the perfect mood for a fantasy read, and I can always depend on Sherwood Smith because she is really good at writing them, thankfully.The writing, of course, was great and Smith has a way of making her char...

review 1: I just can't do it. I just can't read another SS novel about a heroine who has butt-length hair. And it's always honey colored. And this heroine, just like the one in Coronets and Steal, does this weird point and shoot thing with her finger as though it's cool and uses slang in a...

review 1: I think I liked this one better than 'Once a Princess', maybe because the characters were all established and it was really about mopping up the problems that had been laid down for them in the first book. It was a bit predictable, in that you knew the bad guys would get what the...

review 1: This books is hard for me to rate because honestly, at the beginning I did a lot of skimming. The author likes history and architecture and I just...don't. Too much description in the beginning, but after half way through the story picks up and I enjoyed the action and conversati...

review 1: Even though I have read this series before, never have I read the whole series in a row. The emotional impact of the last book is incredible when you're wrapped up in the characters for several thousand pages in a row. Sherwood Smith wrote a story arc over four books with dozens ...

review 1: Read this really fast. I have no idea how long it actually is. Paid $1.99 for it on Kindle. It was fun to hear that "endings" - and the 'to be continued' kind of ending it through in there. I didn't know what to expect, whether another 500+ page book or just something super short...

review 1: I thought this was going to be a bit better than it was. I was delighted by some of the Thackeray-esque tones that I thought I was encountering when I first entered the book, the wry omniscient narrator. But that disappeared quickly. After the initial establishing plot involving ...
