(I received it in a check out "grab-bag" of librarian recommendations from my local library.) Desmia's journey over the course of the book was pretty interesting, though I would liked to have seen more of the aftermath of the events at the end of the book. The author provided plenty of information to deduce what had happened in the previous two books, but I'm not sure if I would go back and read them after having read this one first. I would consider reading a sequel though... ( ) It's been a long time since I read the other two books in this series, but I think I like Desmia better than I liked Cecilia. Desmia is so full of fear it's a wonder that she can function, but it is that fear that allows her to be brave. She isn't so full of sass like Cecilia is, which is kind of a breath of fresh air. For some reason it seems like authors think the only way to create a strong female character is to make her sassy, which isn't true. Desmia might not be obviously strong, but she is strong in less obvious ways. She was raised by a cruel madman, and still managed to remain kind. She understands how many dishonest people think, but that doesn't make her dishonest. I wasn't surprised at all when Desmia went through a whole lot of character growth in this book, I'm glad she has learned to trust people more, and thank goodness she stopped thinking of herself as better than the commoners. Though I think it'll be a lot of work for her (and her sister princesses) to fix their kingdom, as it stands, thirteen fourteen-year-olds don't seem quite mature enough to rule it. I really like Herk and Janelia. I didn't like Tog and Herk's names. The only way I remembered Herk's name was to pretend that it was a nickname for Hercules, and I kept forgetting Tog's name when I wasn't reading. I don't know what it is about those two short, inelegant names that made it so hard for me to remember them, but it also seemed odd because all the other names I've come across in this series seem to be either elegant or normal (or both) so I found these two names that were neither appealing nor normal to be rather obnoxious.
