A PRINCESS
A STABLE BOY
A QUEST
When her father dies, Princess Amarande is given an ultimatum: Marry the leader of one of the four neighboring kingdoms, or lose her crown—and possibly her life. And to force her hand, her beloved, the stable boy Luca, is kidnapped.
But Amarande was raised to be a warrior, not a sacrifice.
And nothing will stop her from saving her true love and rescuing her kingdom.
Review:
When I saw that Henning was writing a book based on The Princess Bride, I knew I needed this book in my life. As a huge fan of The Princess Bride, and Henning’s previous works, this book did not disappoint!
There were just enough nods to the princess bride to make this one work for me. I couldn’t put it down! While it pays homage to the original work, it is completely its own story and I’m dying for a sequel!
The ending took me totally by surprise. The writing was fabulous. And while I really enjoyed it, I still felt there was just a little something missing. I probably hyped it up in my head too much. But this book was wonderful, and I would highly recommend checking it out!
