I absolutely love the cover of this fairy tale, it tells a story itself. I have always interesting fairy tales and the fact that this is a modern one makes it a good pick for my shelf. Good and informative review.

Nadira by Alexandra Lane is a modern fairytale. It seems interesting and different how the author created a fairyland in modern time. Thanks for the free copy.

I love that Theodora is such a strong character. She reminds me of my daughter, she is so independent and strong. Definitely a good book for young girls to read.

This fairy tale seems to have all the ingredients for arousing my curiosity, as it has a prince who is in search of his life partner and the tomboy type adventurous girl who attracts the king.

Thank you for your review! I love the fact that Nadira isn't your traditional damsel, but more, I love the fact that she isn't the only girl who isn't traditionally perfect. The fact that her friend is also a strong character says a lot about the author and the book in general. Oftentimes in a book like this, in an attempt to make the heroine stand-out, the author will make all of her friends "good girls," which, in a way, makes the heroine and book less impactful. I really appreciated your review, and now look forward to reading the book myself.

I am a major fantasy reader, read all Harry Potters ten times EACH. The sample of Nadira is so riveting and entrancing from the very start, chasing through the forest only to realise it's just a bet. I look forward to read the entire novel

Latest Review: Inviting Muslims to Christ by Randall Ireland

Post by kutlee »

The moral of the story is very interesting. I have grown up being a tom girl..and I can't help it. I don't think the way a regular girl would. At Least that's what most people say...so I have learned how to love and accept my self. This is my type of story and I will sure read it. Thanks for the review.

Sounds interesting. A fairy tale without the damsel in distress. It seems to me that Nadira has super powers. I'll have to read the novel to know for sure.

I so agree with our friends about the book. It says we have to fight our wars ourselves and be strong. The princess didn't wait for prince to help her but she herself stood brave in dark times and win the evil shows we shouldn't be afraid of problems and solve them with bravery and courage

Based on the review, I guess this book qualifies for the next Disney movie. Great review, your language flows fluently. Thanks.

This review makes the reader wants to get the book in hands and start reading. What I liked the most is that the reviewer mentions what he o she likes the most.
