Summary
Happily ever after is a thing of the past.
A series of natural disasters has
decimated the earth. Cut off from the rest of the world, England is a
dark place. The sun rarely shines, food is scarce, and groups of
criminals roam the woods, searching for prey. The people are growing
restless.
When a ruthless revolutionary
sets out to overthrow the crown, he makes the royal family his first
target. Blood is shed in Buckingham Palace, and only sixteen-year old
Princess Eliza manages to escape. Determined to kill the man who
destroyed her family, Eliza joins the enemy forces in disguise. She has
nothing left to live for but revenge, until she meets someone who helps
her remember how to hope-and love-once more.
Now she must risk everything to ensure that she does not become . . .
The Last Princess.
Review
The book instantly grabs you in just the prologue. The story is also
gripping, keeping you interested throughout the whole book. The writing
is good, simple and right to the point. There is fighting, displays
suffering, hunger, and describes some deaths--such as the death of
Eliza's mother, father, animals, and soldiers. But if you've read Suzanne Collins', The
Hunger Games, this is nothing.
The book is set in the future, after what they call the Seventeen Days. The Seventeen Days is where the world they knew was destroyed. Trees and plants don't grow, most animals are instinct, and food and water is hard to come by, unless if you're part of the royal family, that is.
Galaxy Craze's writing is simple and easy to read, so the deaths don't make you cringe. I'd recommend this book to the ten-year-olds in my neighborhood. It's good, gripping, simple, and, at times, intense.
