meganbmooreThis is largely a continuation of the first “Sasharia en Garde!” book, Once A Princess, with Sun navigating Canardan’s court, Jehan deciding whether or not to rebel against his father, and Sasha searching for her father.
Actually, I wonder if young women searching for their fathers is a trend that’s catching on? Variations of it are one of the most common tropes for young heroes, but it seems to still be relatively unexplored for heroines, who are certainly going to face different troubles along the way.
I’m especially fond of Sun’s going around and gathering all the mothers and wives and sisters of the men who were off at war to make a stand against Canardan. I also love how Sasha’s voice would turn from sarcastic and cranky and practical to sarcastic and cranky and practical and a bit romantic and annoyed at herself for getting caught up in that annoying chemistry thing.
I kind of want a book about Sasha and Jehan chasing pirates now.
And now to wait for a new book to come out. Or get off my butt and read Senrid or Inda.
