Having a strong female protagonist is a great thing to teach kids. To show them that women can be strong and that they don’t have to be saved. Sounds like a great fairy tale.

A great fairytale and i recommend it for all age group children and even adults who like such fantsy stories. Mostly girls are taught to be sensitive and be fragile and all. The most appealling thing about the story is that it tells us that a girl can do many things on her own. That damsel isnot always in distress! Secondly giving idea to accept people on the basis of their differences is other marked beauty of this book. Well writte n and presented. Congratulations

I am always a fan of fairy tales whether they are modern or adapted. Especially when there is a strong female as the main character.

Sounds like a great book for kids, especially girls. I like how the author stays away from conventional female roles and has created a strong character, who doesn't conform to typical gender norms. Thanks for the lovely review.

I certainly love the never in distress princess aspect of the book. It is great that there is a an independent female protagonist in children's books. Great review.

From the cover of the book, to the story line, the adventure, everything seems captivating. The fact that the book teaches people to be strong enough to face their challenges, not to run from it and also to embrace and love who you really are is wonderful. I can't wait to read this book.

A modern fairy tale. Nadira, the main character, is an unconventional princess, she is independent and has very strong opinions. The story revolves around the question of whether she and Prince Jai choose their true love or fulfill their duties towards their kingdom. It caught my attention.

I could really picture in my minds eyes the scenes of this book as read through your review. Having to choose between whether to follow the love of your life or fulfill the kingdoms demand must have been a serious dilemma for the protagonist Prince. Thanks for the review.

Wow! The review was great. Thanks. As a child I always liked fairy tales, but now I think that’s too much damsel in distress types. But this book does seem different and nice. I surely wanna read it.
