Book Review: Rose and the Lost Princess
Now an apprentice magician, Rose is asked to help find a very special missing person
Turning the worn pages of her spell book, Rose can’t believe how much her life has changed. Once a poor orphan, she is now an apprentice to the king’s chief magician. But when the country’s beloved princess vanishes, everything changes. As rumors of dark magic fly through the city, the king asks Rose for help. She must find the missing princess, before all is lost.
What further impressed me was how much deeper into Rose’s life Webb delved this time. I remember a young girl who wasn’t quite sure of herself. In this book, Rose is starting to come into her own. Unfortunately, that also means everyone knows what she’s capable of. The idea of magic as being potentially evil was touched upon in the last installment, but in this book it’s a core component. I watched as my favorite little protagonist had to battle not only the bad guys, but also those who didn’t understand her. This is a much deeper story, and I love where this is going.
That being said, I’ll once again be eagerly awaiting more of Rose’s story! Holly Webb has done a wonderful job of crafting a very likable and fun young girl. This is the type of story that will be easily enjoyed by readers, both young and old. Trust me, Rose’s personality is infectious. I suggest that, if you love stories filled with magic and mayhem, you give her a spot on your reading list right away.
