Such a good book, not completely what i was expecting. Pleasantly surprised!

This was such an adorable book! This book has been sitting on my bookshelf for about 4 years, and I finally just got around to reading it because I felt the urge. I'm so glad that I did! If i had to find a book similar to this one I would probably say The Selection (that is solely based on me reading the synopsis for that since I haven't actually read the book yet).

Miri and Britta were my two favorite characters in this one. I liked how they were both a little bit of an outcast and became friends through that. The princess academy made for a cute setting, as did Mount Eskel. I felt like the girls acted a little immature as they were ages 14-18, but since it's a middle grade novel I let that slide! :) The small bits of romance were soooo cute! Peder and Miri were adorable together, as were Britta and Stefan!

Overall, it was a great read, and I'd recommend it to those that want a little relief from the dystopian and paranormal romance swamped books of the YA genre.
