It’s a fantastic book. This is my third time reading the series and I don’t regret it. If you liked The Selection series then you will love the Princess Academy series
Miri an engaging vharacter

I liked everything about it! I wanna read the next story!

When I read this book for the first time, I was really astonished at it, it was so unlike any other book I had read before, and I loved it! I found that I could read it multiple times in a year and not grow bored of it. I highly recommend this book!

One of my all time favorite books!

I enjoyed this book a lot because of the intriguing storyline and its no short on fun words. I think all book lovers out there should give this book a try!
