Review: I really enjoy the Last princess for many reasons.
First it doesn’t fall in most of the young adult post apocalyptic cliché which is very refreshing. Here the main character, who is very strong and kickass is not from the poor oppress part of the population, she is Princess of England….one of the last remaining ‘rich’.
Eliza is the main character, she is very strong and smart. She loses so much and is doing her best to keep her head outside the water, she is a very lovable chara More...

Galaxy Craze's new YA is set, like many YA these days, in a dystopian future. England is barren, food is short, the land is barren, oil has run out, and violence is imminent. But instead of focusing on some poor guttersnipe, Craze's protagonist is no one less than a princess, Princess Eliza Windsor.

Set in a post-apocalyptic England, the main character is a future Princess - lineage to William of Kate, of course - whose parents have been killed and whose siblings have been kidnapped by a man trying to overthrow the monarchy and current government.
While I do enjoy some YA, this just didn't do anything for me. The plot seemed to move so quickly that there was no depth to what happened. The characters were not developed, making it hard to really care about them. And, there were More...

Great story of a strong female protagonist who not only is trying to save her brother and sister, but also her country from ruin from the man who killed her parents, is rallying troops for war, and soon hopes to crown himself the new King of England. Sadly, I read an advanced reader's copy, and this book won't be published until May 2012, AND... the author is writing a sequel -- I'm excited about that -- that won't be out until the following May.

"The Last Princess" has something to appeal to every YA reader (whether they be teen or adult!): an appropriately dismal dystopian setting, English royalty, romance, and adventure. I read straight through to the end in one sitting and now I'm jonesing for a sequel!

I may be sick of dystopians, but I still have a passion for post-apocalyptic. And, although the ellipsis at the end (become...The Last Princess) is cheesy, the book sounds really awesome. Princess bent on revenge? Bring it ON!

A little worried that we are going in the direction of the guy fixing the girls life but so far it has been great. We shall wait on the sequal, of course we got to wait for this one to come out officialy first.

I just finished it and it was really good. The plot was great and I predict there will be a sequel because of the ending.

This is just a fun read! I really enjoyed it, and I also loved the freaky futuristic London!
