What is a civilized princess to do? Especially when she can’t tell which prince is the hero and which the villain! Re-edited and reissued by Book View Cafe

Mullen "The Trouble with Kings" takes place in four main countries, leading to delightful cultural comparison and quite some speculation on fashion, which Sherwood Smith is known to do well. So when you read the summaries, please remember that there is much more to this book than just a plotline and a jumble of characters.Princess Flian, her memory gone, is told by her cousin, King Garian, that she is passionately in love with, and engaged to, King Jason Szinzar - a man who is "as expressive as a stone. A stone in the dead of winter, to give an idea of how much warmth there was in his countenance." When she is kidnapped on the eve of her wedding, the outlaws that capture her jog her memory, and all she wants to do is get back to her home in Carnison and be with her father in his old age. The powerful men all around her have other plans, however, and she's forced to face more of reality than she would like to deal with. Can you kill a man because he's an enemy? Can you really not trust anyone, when you've a fortune to your name that's easier to acquire through kidnapping and threats than by a wedding?Flian is not a hothead, and she could be called passive. Her subtle charms may not appeal to everyone, especially not people looking for a kick-butt princess willing to take on anyone and everyone (for that, read "Once a Princess" - hilarious and exciting in all the right amounts). However, there is chemistry. Not in the Twilight-esque, ground-shaking, throat-tightening animal attraction, but in gestures and conversations and how the characters interact with one another. It struck me as very realistic - the kind of romance you can relate to. The magic is mostly present in the fact that "The Trouble with Kings" is set in a magical world with some handy magical objects and interesting magical history. Both are believable.That said, I stayed up until 6 o'clock in the morning reading this, unable to put it down. It was great to see Flian grow and decide to take action - decide to find out who really is on her side, and help them if possible. If you're willing to read a book about a girl who is strong in a way that doesn't necessarily involve kicking butt, I recommend this book as highly as I can. It's fun, it's fast, and it's full of all the things we love: adventure, excitement, kings, queens, princesses, romance, magic - and beautiful dresses.

This was therefore an automatic buy. The book was good but not great.The plus points-1.Engaging but somewhat passive heroine. I like the fact that she is not a raving beauty but is described as quiet and plain.2.Interesting cast of characters.3.Gentle romanceThe minus points-1.Plot seemed to drag at the end.2.Overall missing the spark that takes a book from good to great. I am not sure why- perhaps the meandering plot?Still I liked it. Pleasant way to pass an afternoon. Also a clean read for your teenage daughter with romance but nothing graphic or inappropriate. I hate the cover!

Flian Tops Crown Duel's Mel in My Book By BookFiend Princess Flian is one of those very rare heroines that catches your heart even more because she is so realistic. I readily admit that I am a Sherwood Smith fan and thing that I am a rabid fan of her writing style, but The Trouble with Kings holds a special place in my heart. In my opinion, Sherwood's heroes are some of the best in the genre: they are competent, honorable and caring, but have a tendency to be misunderstood (especially by the heroines).The author herself once admitted on the blog that her fans might think that Flian is too passive a character when compared to Crown Duel's Meliara, but I simply do not believe that. Meliara in Crown Duel is always jumping into situations with the best of intentions with often disastrous results due to too little planning. Flian is a much more diligent planner. She thinks before she acts and often decides, quite correctly, that there is no point in exacerbating an already bad situation. It think that Flian's shy and diligent character only make her more endearing and her ability to readily admit her flaws in refreshing. Just because Flian thinks before she jumps, though, does not mean she has no backbone. Afterall, the opening scene of the story involves the results of her fleeing on horseback.I love Flian's story and the imperfect nature of all of Sherwood's characters. I hope you will take a chance on this wonderful story.
