ninetalevixen 's review for:
Princess of the Silver Woods
by Jessica Day George
3.5 stars
This was fine, I guess? I liked Petunia and I liked Oliver, and I liked getting to check in a bit with Galen, Rose, Poppy, and the rest. Maybe my expectations were too high because this takes inspiration from two of my favorite stories (Red Riding Hood and Robin Hood) yet makes minimal use of either, instead rehashing previous events and conflicts. It's as heteronormative and simplistic as the previous two, which I guess could partially be chalked up to the fairy-tale genre?
For readers who enjoyed the previous two books, this will probably be a fairly satisfying series finale. But it doesn't really bring anything new, imo.
