“When the heroic princess Amira rescues the kind-hearted princess Sadie from her tower prison, neither expects to find a true friend in the bargain. Yet as they adventure across the kingdom, they discover that they bring out the very best in the other person. They’ll need to join forces and use all the know-how, kindness, and bravery they have in order to defeat their greatest foe yet: a jealous sorceress, who wants to get rid of Sadie once and for all. Join Sadie and Amira, two very different princesses with very different strengths, on their journey to figure out what “happily ever after” really means—and how they can find it with each other.”

This was a very cute book about two princesses who meet and become friends. The illustration is bright and colorful and well done and the story is a fun and heartfelt one.

Amira rescues Sadie from a tower and they become fast friends (maybe more than friends?). Eventually their duties as queens take them apart but when another foe threatens their kingdoms they join forces for good.

This was a great book about people bringing out the best in each other and creating a working partnership regardless of gender or temperament. It is very fun and cute and I love the illustration, the story, and the characters. It is a pretty short read and I would have loved to read more about Amira and Sadie.

Overall I really enjoyed this. I would recommend to all ages who enjoy fantasy and adventure with a cute love story. This does feature a same-sex couple.
