Sarah is outgoing and loves to play dress up, while Evelyn is a tough-as-nails guard who takes her responsibilities very seriously. Among them are two cousins, Sarah and Evelyn, who are complementary opposites. Armed with her new disguise, Ava and Hans take on the role of commoners and join a band of traveling merchants.
Her militant upbringing makes her repulsive to her fairy godmother, who refuses to help her at first, but does so anyway at the prompting of a higher power with subtle religious connotations. The story starts off very exciting with Ava narrowly escaping an attempt on her life and running away with her royal guard to go into hiding from the imminent danger. Both kingdoms are ruled by a long line of conquerors who prefer going to war over helping their people. The setting of Rangmeros is very similar to the Lakti kingdom from The Lost Kingdom of Bamarre by Gail Carson Levine. The story reminded me a lot of Palace of Lies by Margaret Peterson Haddix, which was also about a calculating princess who learned how to trust after being forced to evacuate the palace. Princess Ava was actually the villain from The Princess Companion, but she goes through a great deal of growth in this book to redeem her past mistakes, making her easy to relate to. Perhaps that was because it had a more interesting main character. © 2020 Tantor Audio (Luisterboek): 9781705206409I was very impressed by how fast the pacing was in The Princess Fugitive compared to The Princess Companion as well as the heightened levels of suspense. In this reimagining of the classic fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood, the girl in the red hood has been swallowed up by the wolf and must decide if she's willing to fight for her freedom, no matter the cost. Can one fugitive save her people, her kingdom and–hardest of all–herself? The catch? She'll have to ally herself with the people she blames for her downfall.īut in a game of life and death where the stakes are an entire kingdom, winning over her enemies will only be the beginning.
Hans claims to know the real Ava but she finds that hard to believe–after all, she's been the villain so long that she can't remember anything else.ĭeep in exile, Ava learns her kingdom needs a hero, and she might be the only one who can save it. Only her personal bodyguard, Hans, remains loyal. But when she fails at her most important task, she's forced to flee from her own family.
Princess Ava used to be a weapon-sharp, strong and beautiful.
