Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Royal Chase (The Royals of Monterra, #2) in Books

Jul 12, 2018

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is my first Sariah Wilson novel and I'm glad that the cover caught my eye. I have always loved fairy-tales and any book that has a princess makes me want to read it. The characters in this book were really cute. I really enjoyed the chemistry between the characters and the banter was a lot of fun.

The plot line was a little predictable but I was still able to enjoy it. Ultimately, this was a good read that helped me take my mind off of my every day stresses.

The Kiss

Sleeping Beauty- Filled with jealousy, the evil witch Maleficent (Eleanor Audley) curses Princess Aurora (Mary Costa) to die on her 16th birthday. Thanks to Aurora's guardian fairies (Verna Felton, Barbara Jo Allen, Barbara Luddy), she only falls into a deep sleep that can be ended with a kiss from her betrothed, Prince Phillip (Bill Shirley). To prevent Phillip from rescuing Aurora, Maleficent kidnaps and imprisons him. The good fairies are the last hope to free Phillip so that he can awaken Aurora.

So i did watch Maleficent and its sequel and i liked them, their were different, a different take on the oringal movie.

Sleeping Beauty is a classic.

Canon, but not really worth the read.

One spoiler ahead that doesn't really add much but it's nice to know, if we didn't know it already.

A pretty poor attempt at a Star Wars story, especially as it's considered canon.

This may be the second earliest installment in the Star Wars canon, but it fails to add anything to the saga, apart from we find out that Count Dooku was Qui-Gon Jin's master.

The story is mainly based around an adventure featuring Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan involving something about a princess and some jewel thieves...pretty uninspiring characters in terms of originality.
