Review:
This was a cute little story! And by little, I mean it's 40 pages and took me about half an hour to read it. It's light and fun, and just what I needed after reading a long and emotionally heavy book. The Enchanted Truth was sort of a reading palate cleanser for me.
The Enchanted Truth takes the premise of the princess seeking love and puts a new twist on it. Instead of Prince Charming coming to save the day and 'complete' the princess, she learns self-fulfillment. She makes a list of the qualities she desires in a future mate, and then begins to exhibit some of those qualities herself, simply by taking the focus off of finding true love.
I would recommend this book to ages middle grade and up. It would be a great story to read with your teenage and tween daughters. I enjoyed it, and I'm glad I read it. It left me smiling, even though it did feel young and was a little shorter than I would have preferred.

I'm loving the premise. Great review.
ReplyDeleteI must say I've grown out of princess stories a long time ago. I can't even tell you which of the books I read that had princess featured in it. But since this book is only 40 pages, I think I'll give it a try. :)
