A cute story featuring a seemingly perfect princess who is more than meets the eye. Very simple text with short chapters and interesting illustrations. Good for young readers. A great blend of “traditional” princess elements with more non-traditional aspects such as monster-hunting and ninja skills.
I enjoyed that there were multiple things going on plot-wise, which rounded out the work. This book sets the stage with interesting characters, a unique world including a hole to Monster Land, and an intriguing promise of more adventures to come.
I will definitely check out the sequel.
