I listened to this book on a road trip with my grandparents. Nana and Papa came to visit us in Boise and then I drove back with them to spend more time with family and a girlfriend who flew in from out of town.

The book was everything you could want from a trip read–it was engaging enough to keep me occupied from both a writing and subject matter standpoint. Where it falls short is in its historical detail–the sources just aren’t available for many of the subjects, which reduces their lives to summary. The stories however are quite interesting, and it’s certainly worth the read if you’re interested in some real life (though not all of them are real) princesses.
