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 they deserved and the good guys would live happily ever after, but it was still enjoyable to see how it came about. It wasn't a very long read - I did so on a Sunday afternoon - but it made for a pleasant couple of hours.
review 2: It pains me to only award this book 3 stars, but I have to be honest in my rating. Twice a Prince continues the adventures of Sasha, Jehan and company, introduce in Once a Princess. The book is sprawling in scope, covering multiple POVs and grand schemes that ho... moreld interest throughout. And impressively enough, Sherwood Smith neatly addresses a previous criticism I had, with the mix of first and third person voices - there's an explanation that kind of makes sense! BUT, the book didn't stir me in the way that I have come to expect from Ms Smith's books. Crucially, I swept through the final pages of the book without much of an emotional reaction - extremely unusual for me when reading books by Sherwood Smith, as I typically go back and re-read my favourite parts and sigh over how very much I love the book.It seems a little unfair to lay all the blame at Sasha's feet, but for whatever reason I didn't feel like I got under skin and subsequently the perils she faced, the search for her father and the path to true love all underwhelmed me. Jehan had all the hallmarks of a great Smith hero, but again, I wasn't anxiously pacing through the book, awaiting his next appearance.The Sasharia en Garde! series was enjoyable, and perhaps it's unfair to judge it based on what other books I have read (and ADORED) by this author, but it's not a series I am likely to revisit in the immediate future. Maybe I'll just re-read the Trouble with Kings again... less
