Princess Buttercup

Got a big kick out of Princess Buttercup, I love the movie Princess Bride, it’s a family favorite and was referenced several times.

Enjoyable characters, interesting story

I liked pretty much everything about the story and characters except the so called "genius" inability to comprehend the need for protection. I didn't think her rant was appropriate or necessary. Why would she care if protection was around during her presentation. It seems to be a theme in a lot of this type story that the heroine has to be stubborn about these things. Maybe it's supposed to make her look strong but in my eyes it's idiocy and this particular character is described as a genius. Not only does she seem to have no problem putting herself in danger but those around her. I'm glad one of the other characters set her straight.

Deep story with multiple layers.

It was very interesting. loved the book. The reader is not able to sound very differently for multiple characters. Hard to discern who was talking sometimes. I still enjoyed the story.

Beautiful series!

This story held my interest from beginning to end! I also loved revisiting with the friends/family whose love was bonded in book 1. I’m in love with this author and several of her stories. This narrator is awesome! ♥️🌹
