Princeless Book 1: Save Yourself by Jeremy WhitleyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Goodreads Synopsis:
Chosen to be honored as an Amelia Bloomer Project title, through the ALA. Adrienne Ashe never wanted to be a princess. She hates fancy dinners, is uncomfortable in lavish dresses, and has never wanted to wait on someone else to save her. However, on the night of her 16th-birthday, her parents, the King and Queen, locked her away in a tower guarded by a dragon to await the rescue of some handsome prince. Now Adrienne has decided to take matters into her own hands! Come join the Eisner-nominated team of Jeremy Whitley and M. Goodwin for a tale of swashbuckling in the face of sexism. Princeless is the action/adventure for the girl who's tired of waiting to be rescued and ready to save herself!
My Review:
If you are looking for a feisty young lady, who will not be labeled or told what to do, who will stand up for what she believes in despite the cost (and calamity that ensues), then this is the read for you.
Adrienne was a spunky child who grew up to be a spunkier young woman.
Right away I found myself loving her questioning attitude. Her twin brother was an interesting character, and I hope we get to know a little more about him in the next volume. Last, but not least, Bedelia was a nice additional to Princess Adrienne's posse. Their antics were crazy and fun, which made this a quick and satisfying read.
The artwork was amazing as well. For me, an entertaining storyline and great artwork can go a long way. Check this out!
