Synopsis: A princess fleeing an arranged marriage teams up with a snarky commoner to foil a rebel plot in B. R. Myers' Rogue Princess, a gender-swapped sci-fi YA retelling of Cinderella.

Princess Delia knows her duty: She must choose a prince to marry in order to secure an alliance and save her failing planet. Yet she secretly dreams of true love, and feels there must be a better way. Determined to chart her own course, she steals a spaceship to avoid the marriage, only to discover a handsome stowaway.

All Aidan wanted was to “borrow” a few palace trinkets to help him get off the planet. Okay, so maybe escaping on a royal ship wasn’t the smartest plan, but he never expected to be kidnapped by a runaway princess!

Sparks fly as this headstrong princess and clever thief battle wits, but everything changes when they inadvertently uncover a rebel conspiracy that could destroy their planet forever.

Review: I really liked this Fantasy like Sci-fi adventure. The book did a total twist on me and I completely fell for it. It’s also a gender-swapped Cinderella telling. And did I mention…. SPACEEEEEEEEEEEEE? Anyways, the writing was perfection, the book was amazing, and the characters were so well developed. The world building was also excellent!

The only downside is that the book was pretty fast paced and it’s such a fast beginning that it leaves you breathless.

Verdict: If you like fantasy and sci-fi you’ll like this!
