  <default_description>A POSSE OF PRINCESSES &lt;p&gt; Rhis, princess of a small kingdom, is invited along with all the other princesses in her part of the world to the coming of age party of the Crown Prince of Vesarja, which is the central and most important kingdom. When Iardith, the prettiest and most perfect of all the princesses, is abducted, Rhis and her friends go to the rescue. &lt;p&gt; What happens to Rhis and her posse has unexpected results not only for the princesses, but for the princes who chase after them. Everyone learns a lot about friendship and hate, politics and laughter, romantic ballads and sleeping in the dirt with nothing but a sword for company. But most of all they learn about the many meanings of love. &lt;p&gt; Sherwood Smith is the author of over 25 books, in particular stories for children and young adults. She has been writing fantasy since age eight, and her best known novel CROWN DUEL is currently in its ninth printing. &lt;p&gt; Visit her website at www.sherwoodsmith.net</default_description>

One of the things I appreciate about Sherwood Smith's writing for young adults is that her heroines are plausible, ordinary young women with more can-do-it attitudes.

    <body><![CDATA[The book started strong and I really liked the main character Rhis who was a princess from Nym who wasn't perfect.  The first half was pretty interesting when she went to another kingdom to &quot;meet&quot; a potential prince and her princess competition.  The second half was slower and the last 20 ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47084763">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really, really, liked this book...except for the end.  I was so captured and felt the excitement (even though I knew what the twist to the plot was going to be) I could not put the book down.  I was sadly disappointed when the end came to a quick close through no real contact between Lios and Rhis...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40763677">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Not my favorite of Sherwood Smith's books. I felt that there was more potential than was realized. It was a charming setting and had wonderful characters and unique plot, but I felt slightly let down in the execution. Still a wonderful read and one I'd recommend, but not as amazing as her Court Duel...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46764385">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another Princess book--I liked it but when Lauren read it she kept saying things like--when will this book end!  She does a better job of reading the whole book in order instead of skipping ahead to see how it ends, but she did finish it and liked it as well.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I have really been enjoying all of the remade princess books. This is a variation of the Cinderella ball. It was very enjoyable and fun. I liked it so much I bought myself a copy so that I can reread it and pass it on to friends. ]]></body>

This is another good one.<br/><br/>Ostensibly a story about a prince inviting a bunch of princesses to meet him so he can decide who to marry...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/35548241">more...</a>]]></body>
