This review gives me a good description of what I expect to find within the book. Even though this is not the type of book I would typically select, this review may be the premise to my read of the book.

This sounds an interesting story, A strong female character in a fairy tale.
Also, the prince encouraging her to compete in a competition that meant only for boys is a great thing. Looking forward to reading this book. Thanks for a great review.

This is a modern book for the modern world! Strong female empowerment is something that means a lot to many people, and Nadira pulls it off well. Congrats to the author on BOTD! :)

The fairy tale is interesting. Especially, when a female protagonist is very strong, bold, fearless and independent. Nadira meeting with prince who likes her style encourages her the more. Her future is more important to her mother. Children will like a fairy tale like this one. Thanks for your observations on the grammatical errors. You have done a great review.

Nadira seems to face a challenging decision choosing between her true love and the kingdom's responsibilities. I'm glad I'm not a princess, and I'm curious to see what will she do. A modern fairy tale sounds like an exciting adventure. Wonderful recommendation! Thank you!

Thank you for the review. Nadira sounds like a fun, quick read. I like an occasional young person's book for light reading. Based on your review, I will add it to my to-read list.

I like the message it sends of facing challenges head - on. Nadira is a fascinating character with self - confidence and an independent nature. This seems like a book children and adults can enjoy, perhaps as a shared read. I am sure the threat of a witch that says Nadira must die, a prince who is destined to marry someone other than Nadira, a wicked queen, and Nadira wanting to compete against men will create a very interesting story. Thanks for the review. Congratulations on BOTD.

There is nothing better than a story with a strong female protagonist that takes her destiny into her own hands :) We need more inspirational stories like these that will help encourage young girls to be their own knight in shining armour :D Thank you for the well-written review. Happy reading :techie-studyinggray:
