Rendition To Books A True Princess (Fairy Tale Princesses)

Twelve-year-old Lilia is not a very good servant. In fact, she's terrible! She daydreams, she breaks dishes, and her cooking is awful. Still, she hardly deserves to be sold off to the mean-spirited miller and his family. Refusing to accept that dreadful fate, she decides to flee. With her best friend, Kai, and his sister, Karina, beside her, Lilia heads north to find the family she's never known. But danger awaits. . . .

As their quest leads the threesome through the mysterious and sinister Bitra Forest, they suddenly realize they are lost in the elves' domain. To Lilia's horror, Kai falls under an enchantment cast by the Elf King's beautiful daughter. The only way for Lilia to break the spell and save Kai is to find a jewel of ancient power that lies somewhere in the North Kingdoms. Yet the jewel will not be easy to find. The castle where it is hidden has been overrun with princess hopefuls trying to pass a magical test that will determine the prince's new bride. Lilia has only a few days to search every inch of the castle and find the jewel—or Kai will be lost to her forever.

Found floating down the river in a basket as a baby, Lilia was raised by a shepherd, but never allowed to be a true part of the family. When Lilia overhears plans to sell her to the miller, she decides it is time to leave the farm behind, and travel upriver in search of her origins. On the way, she is joined by Kai and Karina, the shepherds biological children, who run away from home to accompany Lilia. They find more adventure than they bargained for when Kai is enchanted by the Elf Kings

So... I kinda feel I need to say something about the whole adopted sister and brother falling in love story line, because its gross and unrealistic and would make any adopted kid feel super uncomfortable. I definitely don't think Zahler has ever adopted a child because if she had, she would know when kids grow up together from BIRTH they don't see each other in that light because it's essentially incest. And that's all I want to say on this book 'cause that basically ruined it for me.

Lilia has never known her true identity. When she was around two years old, she was found floating down the river in a basket. The man who rescued her took her home and raised her alongside his own children, Kai and Karina. However, the mans cruel wife, Ylva, the childrens stepmother, insisted on treating Lilia like a servant. Now that Lilia is almost thirteen years old, and Ylva is pregnant, she has decided Lilia must leave to work as a servant for another family, for there is not enough food

Let's have a moment of applause for Diane Zahler. I have never seen another author do what she has done.While she reworked a fairy tale into a fantasy novel before, Zahler does something slightly different in her second novel "A True Princess" -- she blends together two different fairy tales into one delicately-wrought fantasy story, and then drapes it with some Germanic/Norse folklore. It's a charming, cleverly-written little story that succeeds in surprising you.As a baby, Lilia was found in

There are many rules to define a true princess, and Lilia seems to break all of them. Breaking the first one, A True Princess Does Not Eavesdrop, is how Lilia finds out that her stepmother plans to sell her as a serving girl to the miller. Its a fateful moment, because thats when she decides to run away to the north. As a baby she was found floating in a basket down the river from that direction, and she longs to discover who she truly is.Joining her on the journey are her adopted sister and

How wonderful! Lilia and her friends, Karina and Kai, leave when it becomes clear Lilia's mother doesn't want her anymore. They set off on a adventure which has them meet both fantastical creatures and royalty. I hadn't realised this book was a fairy tale retelling until a very meaningful object makes its appearance. This read to me as a wonderful tale of friendship and court until I reached that part and then everything made sense. I loved this very much. I could have done with more backstory

review I absolutely loved this retelling of Princess and the Pea and it's unique spin. A True Princess is a fantastic story with a fabulous main character who's strong, independent, fearless and one I think many readers will enjoy getting to know. Lilia doesn't know much about where she came from, and in her dreams she has flashbacks of her life before she ended up on a farm. Found when she was a toddler by a kind farmer who had two younger children of his own, she grew up close to Kia and
