I love the character Agatha and what she represents. I will pass because of the erotic scenes, though. Thank you for a great review!

This book seems like an interesting book. I'd love to read about how Agatha puts an end to the disparity between the people in her society. Thanks for this great review.

It sounds like Agatha is ready to make some changes in the kingdom. I love that the author provides commentary that makes the story clearer to readers. Thanks for the lovely review.

The mixture of literary genres in this fantastic novel is definitely an exciting setup. All the elements mentioned such as the inclusion of both fiction and non-fiction concerns (the evil sorcerer and fairy godmother for fiction and the extreme disparity between the wealthy and the poor for non-fiction) are intriguing. Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting fantasy novel about a young royal who wants to eliminate the corruption and wealth gap in the kingdom of Xana. However, those that oppose that desire are numerous. Will she succeed? It might be worth a second look. Well done.

Queens and lovers would have swooned at Princess Agatha's quest to liberate her people which involves a takedown -- her handsome Prince Olaf who is lost and unrecognizable in the crowd. Levity aside, I wonder if there ever was a literary plot before where the people's redemption depends upon a princess being able to make love to his prince with but the one chance she's got. But she will probably make it and relish that one chance she's got.

If only there were more leaders as sensitive to the needs of their people as Queen Agatha. Unfortunately, 'commoners' are not akin to such luxuries. The sampling was as entertaining as your review. Thanks for the insights.

I like how Agatha seem like a great leader. I don't think I'll want to read it because of the erotic scenes, but there will be leadership lessons to pick. Thank you for the review.

The characterization of young Agatha, the protagonist of this story, who seems to have a socialistic attitude despite being a queen of Xana, sounds fabulous.

Based on the cover, I would have thought it's a historical romance. The sexual scenes turn me off, so I'm going to skip this book for now. It's great that the protagonist has the initiative to break the social barrier between the aristocrats and the commoners. Congratulations on the BOTD.

As if this book tells me about justice and social life in the real world that is unbalanced. I wonder what will Agatha face and her acts in the story, so I wanted to read the book. Nonetheless, that sexual scenes will trigger me while reading it.

Thank you for your fantastic review. From the cover and reading a sample of it, I would think it was a historical fiction book. I enjoyed seeing how Agatha seemed wise beyond her years in handling others and helping others poorer than her out. Due to it saying it is sci-fi/fantasy and the sexual aspects I will have to think about whether I would want to add it to my list of books to read. I normally would say no, but your review made me stop and reconsider.

Agatha seems like a compassionate yet a strong character. Will she be able to break the age long bridge of differences in her society? I would love to find out how she does it. Congrats on BOTD!!
