Lynn has written several books in the paranormal fantasy world. She
enjoys fantasy and romance, and you can find a bit of that in her
books as well. Learn more about her at her website.
Appraisal:
There’s
more to someone than just a label. Adriana, who is about to become
the Demon King, lives in a world where she thinks she has everything
figured out. The Savior Blood, the Wiseman and Warrior will one day
fight the demons as they have for centuries. Until then, she will
rule the demon kingdom until her father and brother return from their
disappearance.
However,
Adriana’s world is thrown upside-down when she accidentally becomes
a summon beast to a human mage. Adriana learns more about the humans
during her ordeal — probably more than most other demons. Turns out
that just because she’s been told these people are her sworn
enemies doesn’t actually make them so. In fact, Adriana finds
herself helping those she’s supposed to despise.
Demon
Princess was a great book about perception and biases. When Adriana
and those around her opened their eyes to see the truth, it was far
different than anything anyone expected. There’s a great complex
world here that Kassandra Lynn has created, which is layered in
mythology, magic and history.
The
one drawback was that it seemed that Lynn took a while to find her
voice. The early part of the book seemed very clinical in its
writing, but it was engrossing when it finally loosened up.
I
did see some other reviews that mentioned a lack of world building,
but I just didn’t get that feeling at all. I got a pretty good idea
about the world that surrounded the characters while little hints and
clues. There could have been more, but it might have drawn away from
the action of Demon Princess.
If you
like magic and fantasy, with a love story thrown in, this is a good
book to pick up.
