Might give this another try later. It’s just not working now.

Overall, I really enjoyed this. The story was sweet and I loved the characters. It gave me Cinder by Marissa Meyers Vibes.

Part of me wants to give this a 3.5 stars because of the predictability but.. unsure yet. Full review soon. ( )

Rogue Princess by B.R. Meyers is an excellent intertext with a twist on the Cinderella classic fairy tale.

I love a good inter text, so Rogue Princess was a natural for me! It didn't hurt that the cover is gorgeous, and the author is Canadian! Bonus points, eh!

Princess Delia needs to pick a prince - a man to marry who will help build an alliance and save her planet. Of course, she's a wee bit of a rebel and decides to steal a spaceship to run away from her life's problems. And then, she meets our "Cinderella" - Aidan. This thief just wants to live his life, but ends up slowly falling head over heels for the Princess. All the while, it turns out a big conspiracy regarding the planet and sustainability is going on, so the two of them will need to address that at some point... Or else the planets might be in jeopardy.

This book is a fast paced, fantastical, and romantic read that kept me hooked. I am blown away with how fun this sci-fi, gender swapped take of Cinderella was, and I definitely suggest it to those who love a great fairy tale retelling.

Five out of five stars! ( )

My favorite thing about reading this book was the opportunity this weekend gave my brother and I to race our way through it. We would find little pockets of time to read and gush, while barely avoiding spoilers, about what the other person hadn't read. It read like it was a really well written book, which just happened to be a fractured fairy tale, instead of the other way around. I very much enjoyed reading it. ( )
