Goodreads Synopsis:
When an array of rival
princesses descends upon the palace, Sariphi gains an unlikely ally in
the princess of the reptile clan. A hopeless romantic, Princess Amit is
determined to push her erstwhile sacrifice friend into the king's arms!
But even with Amit cheering her on, will Sariphi be able to carry out
the absurd set of tasks Chancellor Anubis concocts to prove she is
worthy of being queen...?
Review:
In the first half of the volume, Sariphi continues to deal with the
other contenders for the King. She has such low expectations going
in, that she has to reassess these things. One good thing to come
from this, is that she makes a friends, in an alligator lady, who
stays on as her lady. It's nice to see her with a girl friend.
After this, though, Sariphi takes on the challenge to be accepted for
the King. He doesn't want her to do this, is against it, as it's very
risky for her. Her first task is to summon a holy beast, and it takes
a lot out of her, as she tries again and again. And she ends up with
crude, rude Lord Bennu, in a tiny furball. This is a surprise, and
really more of a curve-ball than anything else.
I enjoy the odd mix of characters in this series, and how it's
growing. I'm interested to see what is next for Sariphi, as this is a
hard road ahead for her. I'm excited, though.
