## Review Date #note/sourcereview/book | #source/book📚/fiction ## What is the story A princess navigates a fantasy world while collecting a gang of supporting characters. She has been sent to a convent and she discovers her older sister is married to an abusive king. She has to work with her team to take revenge and save her sister and her kingdom. ## What else do I wonder about? The story is really one of powerlessness and overcoming abusive situations. This issue of how to maintain enough personal power to not be in a position of accepting abuse is quite difficult. The queen (her sister) has decided that she will stay with the abuser to keep her kingdom intact, as has the mother. ## Action Ensure I'm doing my part to elevate, not suppress, other's actions and freedoms. Focus on [[hedging and boosting]] others not constraining others. ## When do I want to stumble across this? This is a good book to recommend for high-schoolers and above. ## Source: Vernon, U.
