I think Sarah Henning has been incredibly clever in the way she has written this novel. It is an interesting world, though, as clearly women can hold positions of power - General Koldo being the prime example. Princess Amarande refuses to take no for an answer when faced with misogynistic laws and council members who will not consider a woman ruling by herself. She is given an ultimatum: marry one of the suitors, or never see him again.įrom the get-go, I felt the full force of the passionate feminism of this novel. Upon her father’s death, Princess Amarande is told by her council that without marriage to one of the neighbouring kingdoms, she cannot have access to her throne - her birth-right.įeeling shocked and betrayed, Amarande seeks a loophole, but is stopped in her tracks when her love - Luca, the stableboy - is kidnapped. The Princess Will Save You is set in a fantasy kingdom where women can only rule if they are married. And to force her hand, her beloved, the stable boy Luca, is kidnapped.īut Amarande was raised to be a warrior, not a sacrifice.Īnd nothing will stop her from saving her true love and rescuing her kingdom. When her father dies, Princess Amarande is given an ultimatum: marry the leader of one of the four neighbouring kingdoms, or lose her crown - and possibly her life. The Princess Will Save You grabbed me with its feminist power, but made me stay for its interesting world.
