The Princess Fugitive: A Reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood

Four Kingdoms, Book 2

De: Melanie Cellier

Narrado por: Esther Wane

Princess Ava used to be a weapon - sharp, strong and beautiful. But when she fails at her most important task, she's forced to flee from her own family.

Only her personal bodyguard, Hans, remains loyal. Hans claims to know the real Ava but she finds that hard to believe - after all, she's been the villain so long that she can't remember anything else.

Deep in exile, Ava learns her kingdom needs a hero, and she might be the only one who can save it. The catch? She'll have to ally herself with the people she blames for her downfall.

But in a game of life and death where the stakes are an entire kingdom, winning over her enemies will only be the beginning. Can one fugitive save her people, her kingdom, and - hardest of all - herself?

In this reimagining of the classic fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood, the girl in the red hood has been swallowed up by the wolf and must decide if she's willing to fight for her freedom, no matter the cost.

The redemption arc!

he redemption arc!! We first met Princess Ava in The Princess Companion and she was “the bad guy.” I did not like her at all and was done with her. Melanie Cellier took a very unlikable character and made me connect with her in so many ways, that I was wondering if she was based on me in some ways. Ava grew so much as a person, faced the bad parts of herself, made deliberate changes, and became a queen that everyone loved. And Hans was just so great the entire time. I could not recommend this book enough.

barely red riding hood

I really liked this book. If I had anything bad to say, it would be that it didn't really remind me of Red Riding Hood. The other tales are closer to the originals while adding some extra plot elements and making the characters actually interesting. This book strayed a bit further. However, it was a great tale. I was skeptical whether I'd enjoy reading about a princess who was a villain from another book, but Ava had a strong inner voice with her worries about appearing weak and losing control. She was likable in her struggles despite initial shortcomings (and rudeness!).

Loved!!

The last few books, I have listened to have been dark and left me feeling down. This book is amazing. Leaving you with Hope and happiness. ❤️❤️❤️

Redemption

This was a good redemption story. The cover threw me for a bit and I thought that it was one of those time when the cover designer wasn't given an accurate description, but no, it works :)

GOT TO LOVE THIS ONE !!!!!

ANOTHER GREAT STORY BY MELANIE CELLIER. CAN TRUE LOVE OVERCOME THE BEAST WITHIN AND A PRINCESS SHUT OFF FROM EMOTIONS AND LOVE LEARN WHAT IT TRULY MEANS TO FIND TRUE LOVE ?
YOU'LL HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE STORE AND FIND OUT. IT'S A GREAT DEAL OF IT. ACCEPTABLE FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES. NARRATOR IS GREAT AND EASY TO FOLLOW.

Great listen

Love the inventive way Melanie wove together elements of fairy tales but kept it realistic and the contest was pretty evenly matched.

Entertaining

Good version of this story. Kept me interested from start to end. I am looking forward to next book.

Even better than book one!

Even better than book one. Enjoyed the twist on the wolf being the one within one’s self. Great adventure in saving the kingdom, making true friends and learning about love along the way. Could have used a few more romance building scenes between the couple, but loved the strong characters who were perfect for each other. Also, although a bit predictable, I enjoyed the trials for the monarchy and the ending.
The narrator is growing on me. I didn’t care for Ava’s voice, even in book one, but the narrator does a good job overall. Really enjoyable!
