Representation is so important. Kids with minority identities need to see themselves in the books they read. I'm so glad that this book exists purely for that reason.

That being said, the actual content of this book is very disappointing. I think it's a case of an author trying to accomplish too much in too few pages (and far too few words, as the graphic novel format significantly limits the book's word count). In the space of fifty-six pages, here's what happens:
- princess Amira saves princess Sadie from tower
- a sorceress tries to prevent the escape but fails
- Amira and Sadie save a prince from a tree
- the prince talks about how he struggles under parents' expectations
- Amira, Sadie, and prince stop an ogre, teach him how to dance
- Amira describes her backstory
- the sorceress plots to get back Sadie, captures Amira
- Sadie resolves to save Amira, recounts interpersonal conflict between herself and her sister, the sorceress
- Sadie returns to home kingdom, interacts with townspeople, confronts sister
- verbal argument between sisters
- Sadie's small dragon somehow causes sister's curse to backfire, turning sister into a pig
- Sadie becomes queen, Amira decides she needs to get more experience in the field. Asks Sadie to "wait for" her (not a fan of this. they hung out for like one day)
- years pass
- Amira returns to Sadie's kingdom, the two get together
- epilogue: Amira talks about how easy her past quests have been compared to getting married, wedding occurs.

It's just too much!!! The sheer amount of plot overwhelms the characterization and prevents realistic connection between the princesses. The consequence of this is that by the end of the story, Sadie and Amira's happily ever after seems contrived. Additionally, I fail to see the point of the side characters, particularly the sister and the prince. We would have had more than enough examples of characters not fitting their prescribed molds without these guys, who seem to exist solely to hammer this point home for the reader.

I don't know, guys. This book may be important, but it's not very good.
