Abandoned Princess

I missed this world so much! It was so easy to pick up where I left off even though it had been a couple of years. I love this world!

Daisy was just as rambunctious as ever. I loved her coming of age story and how much she grew as a character. I’m glad that we got to go on this journey with her.

Xander matched Daisy perfectly. He was witty, supportive, and oh so charming. He knew exactly what Daisy needed.

All the cameos made my heart so happy! It was so fun seeing so many of our past characters and their children. The children’s antics were so fun! It makes me want to start reading this whole series all over again. Absolutely loved it!

And the narrator did an amazing job as always!
