Princess of the Silver Woods

Quality was as expected. The book was in good condition and got here rather quickly.

I enjoy this author's extensive knowledge and appreciation of classic fairy tales. I've always loved the 12 Dancing Princesses story and I was glad to see it expanded on.The first half of this story moves at a good pace. I felt the second half dragged. I like romance but this is very light on romance. These characters fall in love quickly and easily and I don't think they even kiss in the entire book. If you like very clean romance here is your gold.Lots of shooting and girls in fancy dresses and sewing in these books. Its fine but feels a bit worn and archaic in its view of femininity. Good girls fall in love without physical contact, wear pretty dresses, sew and always know how to shoot a gun. Its a specific type of taste, not mine, but the writing was pretty good.I did feel the climax was muddled and confused. The end seems predestined. Its fine, just nothing innovative in my opinion.

This was an amazing end to the Princess trilogy... I loved how it went back to the beginning, with the world of King Under Stone coming back to haunt them... how everything begins to tie in and make sense... And as you can see by her cloak that it's taking on the tale of Little Red Riding Hood... and believe me I don't know how George does it but she sees the world in an amazing way and this retelling is like nothing I've ever read before... and I've read my fair share of fairy tales... she mixes in all the bits and pieces to give you this incredible adventure that will turn everything you've ever thought of the big bad wolf and a little old grandma right on it's head... and Petunia is such a great character, she's the runt of the bunch it seems but she's as strong willed and tough as the rest of them... even if all her sisters still think of her as that little 6 year old girl dancing the night away... I loved Oliver and how he's done all he can for his people and trying to fight to do the right thing even if it means he may be deemed a criminal by the King... I will say some of the princesses got a little irritating and it's like after all they've been through you'd think they'd be a bit stronger... which some of them are and so I guess it's all showing their different personalities and how everyone handles things differently... but Jonquil was a bit much in that department... a little of a downer that I kind of hated every scene she was mentioned in... if not for her this might have been a 5 star book... but luckily for the most part it's all Petunia and Oliver...This may be a bit spoilerish but another thing that kept this from being a 5 star book for me is that it really made you feel sorry for the King Under Stones sons... in the first book King Under Stone is straight evil and you don't really feel sorry for him or even those princes that were killed in the battle to take him down... but this book spent a lot of time learning more about them and even showed Petunia feeling sorry for them and talking about how this had always been a part of her life and she never really felt scared of them... it gives them more dimension and a more human side when you see that they just hate being trapped in a sunless world... I almost had hoped that in the end they might have gotten something to perhaps bring them even the slightest bit of happiness... at least the one Petunia was supposed to marry because he did in his way almost seem to care... until the very end and all and I just don't see why George did spend so much time cultivating that if it was all going to come to naught...

I didn't know this book was actually part of a series as i bought the soft cover in 2012 and i was 11. However, i really enjoyed the book, even as a stand-alone!(Note: the picture is of a bought USED book. The library mislabeled the book. It is NOT Sci-Fi😂 Basic magic is not Sci-Fi, the book is fantasy)*This review is for the purchase of a used book*I bought a used hardcover version as i bought the other 2 books as a hardcover and my soft cover is very damaged over the many years of use and in need of replacement.For a used book, it's pretty good! I had to removed to dust cover of the book cover because i can't stand the crinkling noise when trying to read it.Unfortunately, upon removal, damage was made to the book itself die the the tape that was used, but that is not the fault of the library so i won't complain.The spine is in great condition and is very good for a library used book!

I have enjoyed all the books written by Ms George. Look forward to more.

Well written and a very enjoyable ending to the series.

Brilliant books! Wish there were more about the princesses

This book has nothing to dislike it's incredibly good. There is suspense, a bit of romance, and of course there's adventure!

Not what I want to read at the moment. Don't take my review to seriously. I only read about 50 pages and just realised it wasn't what I wanted to be reading. If you are into romantic fairytales this would definitely be a book to try.
