Series: Princess
by Author Christina Dodd
Dämon, Dämon an der Wand (2012)
I picked this up on a whim. It is actually the last book in the series which I never do but something told me I needed to read it. This is such a dark twist on the fairy tales we knew as kids. He takes these princess and gives them a backbone and personality. It was also a refreshing to read a ch...
La Vengeance du Petit Chaperon Rouge (2011)
We tend to censor our fairy tales, preferring the romance and adventure to the darker truths. Most people grow up believing that Sleeping Beauty was awakened by a courtly kiss from a handsome prince, but the truth is that Talia was raped, only awakening to the pangs of childbirth nine months late...
Rotkäppchens Rache (2011)
The series stays about the same level of action and humor, with the addition of Red Riding Hood as an antagonist/unlikely ally in an adventure that deals with Talia (Sleeping Beauty) and her past. The back story for Talia is full and powerful. The weakest thing about this book is that some of t...
La Folie de la Petite Sirène (2011)
Such a fun book! Leaps and bounds better than the first in the Princess series. Hines has really developed the characters and made them interesting and complicated. The princesses are badass and flawed. Talia's love story isn't a trite maneuver to win some cheap points, but a compelling plot ...
Die Fiese Meerjungfrau (2011)
I've read several mermaid books lately, and honestly couldn't finish most. So glad to have found this book! It is the second of a series, but stands alone well (I haven't read the first book). Basically, three kick-ass princesses (Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty) work together to sav...
(Ne)Šťastné konce (2010)
This book was a fun, quick read, but overall nothing life changing. As far as fairy tale stories go, this is an interesting spin. I appreciate the fact that the main characters are all the usual "damsels in distress", transformed into women able to take care of themselves. In fact, in this book, ...
L'enlèvement du prince Armand (2000)
This book has everything a girl could want: fairy tales, action, and kick butt heroines. I have to thank Steph from Barnes and Noble for recommending it. Jim Hines does an excellent job creating realistic, relatable characters. I liked that the Grimm fairy tale versions were used instead of the D...
Drei Engel für Armand : [Roman] (2009)
I just finished book 1 of the Princess series by Jim C Hines, and it was a lovely, fun read. Had some predictable bits, of course, but that'll happen when you're basing your characters on well known fairy tales and legends. And there were some wonderful (and wonderfully awful) twists on those fai...
The Mermaid's Madness (2009)
The story is based on the original fairytale by Hans Christen Anderson, yet it is darker (and that is quite an accomplishment), but Hines managed to temper it with light humor as well. There is a lot of magic, fighting, soul sucking, shape shifting and lifesaving (- oh I forgot the self-healing s...
La princesse au bois d’argent (2013)
I have not read the other books of this series, at least not yet, but be that as it may, i thoroughly enjoyed this book. I found the hero a blundering, loveable oaf, and the Heroin admirable. The plot was interesting, and thought i often felt like i was missing some vital piece of information, i ...
La princesse du bal de minuit (2012)
I love the usage of shifting point of view to create dramatic irony and build the tension of the story. I also love that as the princesses are heading to the ball, George cuts the scene. The princesses cannot speak of the Ball, and they cannot show the Ball to the reader either. It is first se...
The Stepsister Scheme (2009)
What a thrilling book to read ! I liked it from A to Z. First , I really appreciated the universe the author set. We have faeries , pixies , goblins , enchantresses , witches and much more . The world the three princesses live in is well-built and nicely developed .The plot was intriguing and int...
Princess of the Silver Woods (2012)
I've enjoyed reading this series and I liked the new spin on some old tales. Some of the characters blurred a little, but sometimes that happens in family members, too, so I didn't dwell on it. I really appreciated the happy ending with a strong sense of finality. The only parting thought I have...
La princesse de verre (2012)
Hahaha I absolutly love Poppy. A very interesting Cinderella story. My favarite parts were Poppy going to get a stick to stop the fight Marrianes fathers comment to Dickon and Poppy deciding that she would blasted well dance at her wedding.Still finding the whole its Ionia not europe but yet its ...
Princess of the Midnight Ball (2009)
I'm not always the best when it comes to reading books that have been rec'd by friends but I ended up giving this one a go because I've passed by this book many times at the library but never picked up due to it's trashy cover and uninspiring blurb. However! This goes to show you never judge a bo...
