4 stars

The more I read of this series, the more I enjoy it.

New adventures, new characters, and new mishaps as Princess Magnolia tries to balance her birthday event with her Princess in Black duties, all while keeping her secret safe.

A fun story that nicely blends traditional princess elements (pink, unicorns, glass slippers, frilly dresses) and non-traditional elements (monster fighting, saving the day). This blend works so well and shows how one can have a range of interests.

Nice short chapters with beautifully detailed illustrations. These are fun books and I am looking forward to the next one.
