A Posse of Princesses

by Sherwood Smith

While the cover of my edition really let the book down, this is an excellent story. Several princesses and princes gather at an event for the Crown Prince of Vesarja, the central and most important kingdom in the area, a chance for him to possibly find a wife. Rhis is one of these princesses and a pivotal character. She finds herself attracted to a scribe, Dandiar, a relationship she's pretty sure won't be encouraged by her family.

Things change when one of the princesses is kidnapped and Rhis and her new friends go to the rescue, learning a lot about themselves and life in the process.

I really did like the story and the characters, I felt it was a little let down at the end, the letters were very scrappy, but overall it was a read I'd recommend and a nice antidote to stories where the girls have no agency.
