This fantasy story is about Myrindi, who is a typical teenager, obsessed with all things teenagers are supposed to obsess about (fashion, makeup, etc.). She is also an actual Crown Princess, and she has gills and blue skin.

It is time for Myrindi to get married to a father-approved candidate. Her father, who is also the king, has decided to sell the throne, and Myrindi's hand in marriage, to the highest bidder. Sorrin, a very repulsive being, refuses to accept that he came in second.

Along with a few friends, Myrindi is on the run in the middle of a military coup. Her father doesn't survive; Myrindi begins to realize that these beings, who are loyal to her, are laying down their lives for her. Marrying Sorrin may be the only way to stop the bloodshed.

Teens will love this book. It is easy to read, and understand. It also has things to say; there is more to life than just being the daughter of a rich father. I am not as sure that adults will also love it. This gets at least 4 stars.… (mehr)
