“The Princess: A Fairy Tale” by Michael Cristian receives a positive review from Hollywood Book Reviews
Michael Cristian’s The Princess with Author Reputation Press has received a positive review from the Hollywood Book Reviews.
The book is an engaging, inspiring, and thrilling story about a young princess named Malina as she tries to save her beloved knight from captivity.
The book takes deep inspiration from the Lord of the Rings series by J. R. R. Tolkien. In addition, its story and characterization are heavily influenced by other popular tales like the Dragonheart film series, especially by the Dragonheart: Vengeance, where a young farmer teams up with a dragon and a mercenary to get revenge on raiders.
The author also revealed that the biblical epic film One Night With The King has played a role in helping to bring the book to life. It’s a story of Hadassah, a young Jewish girl who travels to Persia, where she is chosen by King Xerxes to be his queen. She then learns a dark truth that forces her to save her kingdom from destruction.
Here’s an excerpt from the HBR’s review:
“The fairy tale elements are incorporated throughout the story with the princess, the knight, the love story, the wicked witch, the wicked sibling, and a dangerous army. No fairy tale would be complete without the perfect villains to contrast the hero which leads to an epic conclusion that brings the story full circle. The story is paired with lovely illustrations that are full color with fine details and vibrant colors that give you vivid peeks into this fairy-tale world. The illustrations provide stunning depictions of the characters in renditions that are reminiscent of paintings and provide greater depth for the story. You’ll get a look at the love between Malina and Alberto as well as Malina claiming her full power.“
