A fairy tale book that portrays romance, dilemma, and fantasy. I hope the protagonists follow their hearts regarding who to spend the rest of their lives with. This might be a good read for me. Nice work.

This is amazing, I love the different and bold take on fairy tale stories. It breaks free from the traditional. This is a must read.

Modern version fairy tale is a good way to put it. The story seems interesting, but I'm worried about the messaging that strong females are defined by being boy-like.

A female protagonist who is a feminist is my type of read. Definitely would want this in my TBR list. Not all women are waiting for a knight in shining armour to get help because some women embark on dangerous journey herself to find the solutions. This gonna be an insightful read to the feminists in fictional way.

A nice book featuring a strong woman, however, I feel it seems a little cliche in how it portrays such strong woman. Still happy it has those characters though.

Thank you for the review!

Sounds interesting but until I find an interest in fantasy/medieval again, I probably won't read it.

A modern type of fairy tale in the book "Nadira" by Alexandra Lane, which follows Nadira , a bit different girl, who loves to compete with the boys. She gets attracted to Prince Jai, who is supposed to marry another princess. The story appears to be quite entertaining.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Despite the category, I think even adults should indulge in this beautifully written fantasy. Good review. I wish I had it growing up.

First of all, the cover page is lovely. Nadira seems to be a very brave and courageous girl, what strikes me is her independence even in the face of trouble. It sounds like a very interesting read,I will enjoy reading this. A well-written review.

Wonderful review, it's super appealing and made me want to read the book. It seems like this book is a unique sort of fairytale with the heroine being strong and capable of doing things for herself and rescuing herself if need be. I can't wait to read it!
