Commentary In Favor Of Books Princess Nevermore (Princess Nevermore and the Wizard's Apprentice #1)
If you read this book at the right age (elementary school to middle school), you will absolutely never forget it. To this day it occupies, like, a holy grail spot in my mind - definitely on a pedestal. Reread it last summer - and no, it doesn't hold up. Definitely have to catch it at the right time, and it will honestly GLOW in your memory.Note: there are differences between this version (the older paperback) and the newer, hardcover one, which I discovered reading them in parallel. First of all, this one is prettier. But also, they do change some phrasing and things (for the worse, in my opinion) so I would recommend this older version.

I didn't like this book al that much. It was a good enough read during the duration, but thinking about the story now that I finished it a few hours ago, it just wasn't a great book. I don't think Quenn's actions throughout fit the situations she was in. She didn't seem to be all that much of a stranger to our world, and after hearing about (but not actually seeing) Disney's Enchanted, the idea of a princess falling through a wishing well into our world seems overdone. Yes I know this book wasI was told to choose a book to read back in 2013 for my seventh grade English class. Considering that I hadn't really read a complete chapter book before. I chose this. I soaked up the entire book, and since then, I've wanted to read the second installment, and hopefully I'll be able to soon. The main characters are still young and learning, and it shows that the adults, despite knowing all knowledge in most children's stories, are still learning like the children. All of the characters have
For some reason, this book worked my nerve. It shouldn't have. It's just a shallow, somewhat bland tale of a princess from a magical land who visits modern day (well, 90s) Earth. She goes to high school, falls in love, blah blah blah. I like the concept (and mostly enjoyed it in the movie Enchanted and probably other stories that aren't coming to mind), but here it just fell flat. It might've been the author's choice to have the princess use odd language choices to show how different she is --
So I'm reading Neverwhere, which involves an underground version of London, and I remembered that, in middle school, I had read some terrible-cum-awesome young adult novel about a princess that lives underground who falls through a wishing well and ends up above ground. And, of course, she has to go to high school, and falls in love with some generic cool high school dude, and then she has to choose between true love or her home/destiny. You know, because that storyline is not at all contrived.
I loved this book in the day, and it still holds up pretty well. I think it may have been the first book I read that gave a fantasy outsider's perspective on the world. It does things well, plot and character things. I recently found my copy at my parents, nervously decided to give it a re-read, and was able to see why I enjoyed it so much at 12.
I was in 8th grade, and I really enjoyed this, having read it around the same time as my best friend so we could reminisce over it together. What I remember both of us wondering, though, was why everyone found this girl so attractive above ground (away from her cavernous kingdom). The way she is described and then the way that boys seemed to fawn all over her made us laugh a little. But then, we were mere jealous 8th graders, envious of male attentions of any sort (oh it starts, lol).
