Really love the fact that the main character Nadira stood out. it's a lesson to children and adults especially the Females. Kudos to the author for creating such character. Congrats on BOTD

I am pleased with the plot of this story. It's a good shift from the traditional helpless damsel story that most adults grew up learning. It's a good story to read to children today.
The author has made a good attempt at helping children reposition their approach to life as they grow up.
A great pick for BOTD

Can they?? Choose their true love or are they bound to fulfill the responsibilities of their own kingdoms, the protagonists, i mean. Do they find a middle ground? I guess, I will have to find out.
Great review.

Wow! The aim of folk and fairy tales is to inculcate morals. I think this book does that. It's time for the female folks to ride on to independence. It doesn't matter if you're a female, you can always achieve your goals without dependant on anyone. Nice review.

to be honest, I am more intrigued with a fairy tale that reminds me of childhood like old kisa kisa, but quality reading in my opinion is like a simple example of inspiration and inspiration
someone is successful in pursuing a career in the current era of modern globalization
I think it's more needed by readers at this time.
oh yeah by the way prince jai is handsome or not, :roll2:

I find the review to be quite concise and creates a ray of interest on the book. It reveals the main characters and what they stand for without giving too much information about the book away. I like the part where the reviewer states that the book sends a powerful message to the female population because that is exactly how I felt when I read it. I felt that women can also do and become anything that they put their minds to.

The book cover is out of this world. Your review highlights Nadira A Fairy Tale as a special modern piece: for that reason, I had to add it to my bookshelves.

I will have to pass on this book as the fairy tale setting is really unoriginal at this point and I have read my full. Thanks for the great review though!

The book sounds interesting. I especially like the message in the book stated by the reviewer "that facing challenges head-on helps us discover our true power". We can find out who we are and what we are capable of only when we face certain challenges. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!
