  <default_description>&lt;b&gt;In the Five Hundred Kingdoms, never believe what your eyes tell you&amp;#133;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;P&gt;
The seventh daughter of the Sea King, Ekaterina is more than a pampered princess&amp;#151;she's also the family spy. Which makes her the perfect emissary to check out interesting happenings in the neighboring kingdom&amp;#133;and nothing interests her more than Sasha, the seventh son of the king of Belrus. Ekaterina suspects he's far from the fool people think him. But before she can find out what lies beneath his facade, she is kidnapped!&lt;P&gt;
Trapped in a castle at the mercy of a possessive Jinn, Ekaterina knows her chances of being found are slim. Now fortune, a fool and a paper bird are the only things she can count on&amp;#151;along with her own clever mind and intrepid heart.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't like this book at all.  In fact I stopped reading 1/3 of the way through and skimmed the rest.  Hugely uninteresting story line and the names/places and languages were hard for me to keep straight.  I had to keep back tracking thinking, okay who is this again?  And who are they related to? ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38241079">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[As happened with the Valdemar books, but happened much sooner this time, Lackey has gotten lax with her world and seems to count on reader loyalty to garner readers rather than developing a really strong story.  In this case, I think she spends far too much time playing the &quot;Tradition&quot; car...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57431857">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[ As much as I enjoyed the previous two books, I think that this is my favorite of the three. But maybe if I read the others again, I'd change my mind - each time I read one of them! :P Again the book is much better than the synopsis on the book has you believe - they're always a bit misleading or in...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20089124">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[In 6th grade I picked up one of Lackey's books and started to read it, but it just didn't catch me. Four years later, with finals over and a three day weekend, I wanted a book to read and got <em> Fortune's Fool </em> from the library, hoping that it would be better. Once I started reading, I realized why I ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/13665638">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was similar to other Mercedes Lackey books that I've read. It's a fast, easy read, especially if you like romance and fantasy with a little bit of smut. Throw in the daughter of the sea king and the 7th son of a king and you've got all sorts of myths and legends mixed together.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The third in Lackey’s Tales of the Five Hundred Kingdoms series. In this book Lackey draws from the wealth of undersea myth to find her premise for this book. As characteristic of her 500 kingdoms novels she weaves together several tales from several places to give us a new and interesting read. ]]></body>
