Title: Princess of Glass
Author: George
Genre: Fiction, Magic, Princesses, Fantasy
Pages: 257
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
I am borrowing this summary from Goodreads.com, because it says exactly what I wanted to say, but in a lot fewer words! Hoping to escape the troubles in her kingdom, Princess Poppy reluctantly agrees to take part in a royal exchange program, where young princes and princesses travel to each other’s countries to make good political alliances, and good matches for marriage. For Poppy, it has the makings of a fairy tale...until a hapless servant named Eleanor is tricked by a vengeful fairy godmother into competing with Poppy for the eligible prince.
This is the second book in which Princess Poppy makes an appearance, so I suppose that you could call it a sequel. However, "Princess of the Midnight Ball" centers around Poppy's sister Rose and the wicked curse put on all the sisters. I am sure that if you have read, or do read, "Midnight Ball" first you will really appreciate Poppy's history. But it is not necessary to enjoy this book.
This is a book about mysteries and magic. Ballgowns, cinders, and enchanted glass slippers all make an appearance in this story that may sound familiar, but is entirely fresh and new. A fun, romantic, and action-packed happily-ever-after story. And even though I'm typically not a "princess-love story" book kind of girl, I am already hoping for another book in the series!
