Somaya's Book of the Month: September 2013



     So, I just finished reading this book. Yesterday, I was reading it nonstop. I stayed up until 1 a.m. to finish it. It was just so amazing to stop.

      This does not look like what it seems. You may think it is all princess stuff and girly, but it is not. There is nothing girly in this book. I think a boy would be interested in reading this. So again, don't judge a book by it's cover.

      The setting of this book was in England and Scotland. The time is not long ago because they had jeeps, phones and security cameras. A series of natural disasters had decimated the earth. Cut off from the rest of the world, England is a dark place. The sun rarely shines, food is scarce, and groups of criminals roam the woods, searching for prey.

      There is a sixteen year old princess named Elizabeth. People normally call her Eliza. She has an eighteen year old sister named Mary, and a brother named Jamie. She hasn't seen her father for about 6 month's because of the Seventeen Days. It is actually kind of hard to explain the Seventeen Days, you have to read it to understand it.

        Her mother was killed by a man named  Cornelius Hollister. He gave her a poisoned peach. I actually was happy it was a poisoned peach, rather than a usual apple. Anyways, her mother was pregnant with her brother Jamie. They had to do surgery to take her brother out. Some of the poison was already in Jamie, so the way he lives is by taking a rare and expensive medicine.

       A ruthless revolutionary sets out to overthrow the crown, Hollister makes the royal family his first target. Blood is shed in Buckingham Palace, and only Eliza manages to escape.

       Determined to kill the man who destroyed her family, Princess Eliza joins the enemy forces to disguise. She has nothing left to live for but revenge, until she meets someone who helps her remember how to hope and love once more. She must risk everything to ensure that she does not become The Last Princess.

        I advise everyone to read this book!!!!!! It is just so amazing. But beware, you will not be able to stop until you are done. I really hope there is a sequel to this alluring book. Before you buy it, you could read a couple chapters to see if you like it. Here is the page. Enjoy!!!!!! :D
