Summary

If only deciding who you are was easy. For Princess Katie, making her choice is quite a challenge, made worse when her two worlds collide. If she chooses to be a princess she'll be a failure in the eyes of her father, but if she chooses to remain a spy she'll miss out on the life she was born to live. Under the guise of a princess who is there to win the heart of the prince, she is sent to spy on a neighboring country. But this mission proves different from the ones that she is used to. She's seen secret passages, and betrayal but she's usually hiding in the shadows, not having tea with the queen or bantering with the prince.

If she had spent more time as a princess maybe this quest wouldn't be so hard.

Excerpt:

I pushed myself up and nearly stopped breathing again. The man who I had just knocked to the ground was none other than Prince Jarin. Definitely not the shadow, I thought. “That’s it, you - ” the prince began as he pushed himself up and raised his fist. “Stop!” I guarded my face with both hands. “Katie?” “Ah...hello, fancy meeting you here,” I stammered.

An ok story

I found I had to really concentrate when listening to this story to be able to understand the storyline. References made to royal titles or being a spy felt unnatural and like the author kept wanting the reader to remember the characters roles, rather than it naturally coming though the storyline. A minor error but calling a princess ‘Your Majesty’ made me cringe, if you’re going to use royal etiquette, then you should get it right (that is a title that is only given to the current ruling monarch not an heir to the throne).

The worst thing of all is the narrator mis-pronounces ‘sword’ throughout the book, and it felt that it was a very used word. I found myself shouting ‘it’s a silent ‘w’!’

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
