This was a good book in the series. The characters were compelling, and it shows the ineresting pull and push between the princess girl archetype and the outlaw/tomboy girl archetype. Girls who find a little of both inside themselves will enjoy the main character of this book. Interesting depiction of female concerns in a male dominated fantasy environment, with relatable issues of safety, male-female power and security, and expectations.
Teachers or librarians may recommend this to any girl liking friendship tales, adventure tales, who may need a bit of a tomboy and princess character to explore.
