This book is difficult for me to review because I was kind of all over the place with it. Some parts were slow, others were super fast. Some parts made my mad, others made me smile. Some characters I liked, some I didn't, some I just didn't get. Overall though, it was entertaining, and if you like these types of books, you'll like this one.

When I first started this book I felt a bit hesitant. I thought to myself "Another girl who wants to be a warrior, hmmm..." By the end of the book I was definitely proved wrong. I loved it.
With a lot of the books I read I am able to predict a majority of the book- especially where romances will develop. I was pleasantly surpised when I was not able to figure out who the heroine was going to fall in love with until I was over half-way through the book.

Our story takes us on an adventure of Princess Andrea. Stubborn and hearty she wants to be a Page only to have her father turn down her request. He wants her to join her mother and learn to be a Lady as is fitting of her status.
Andrea is gutsy, intelligent and quick witted. She meets her Uncle at some rocks near a beach and is soon to discover that the cave/archway is actually a portal to another world.

Two Moon Princess is one of those books that I wasn't initially sure what to make of, mostly because I wasn't - and honestly am still not - quite sure of what it was trying to be. Or do. And though by the end I did finally suss out what it was trying to say, three hundred or so pages of dumb and unlikable characters doing dumb and unlikable things had worn my patience with the story too much to care.

I weirdly liked this a lot, but not for being any of the things it said it was.
First, the title says "princess" and there is some weird girl on the cover I never could place. The book is hardly about the main character being a princess and not at all like most novels that are packaged with the word princess in the title. It's not a fairy tale kind of story.
Second, the blurb mentions time travel, but I wouldn't put this in the science fiction or fantasy camps. More...

Little known fact about me: Once upon a time, I hated all science fiction that wasn't Star Wars. Really. Hated with a passion. This was partly because the animatronic alien from Alien on the Great Movie Ride in Walt Disney World scarred me for life. It was also partly because I was fiercely loyal to the fantasy genre, and considered any speculative fiction without elves or magic to be a crime against humanity. If someone had told me that sci-fi would eventually be my favorite genre and the one I

As the youngest out of four princesses, Andrea does not have to worry about ruling the kingdom any time soon. She'd much prefer to be a knight anyway. Yet her parents want her to start focusing on being a lady as polished and desirable as her sisters. Instead Andrea decides to run away and somehow gets transported to modern-day California. When she returns back home, Andrea finds out that her father has engaged in a war with a neighboring kingdom over a broken engagement. Will Andrea be able to

I would hesitate to buy this book for my collection because it doesn't fit in either Juvenile or Young Adult. It starts out too immature and many of Andrea's thought processes aren't mature enough for teenagers to relate to. On the other hand, I think quite a few mothers would be upset if their Juvenile reader came home with a book whose main character falls for a man who is so much older than her (based on her world's time table if nothing else, but also based on emotional maturity).

All Princess Andrea ever wanted was to be a knight in her father’s kingdom. To prove she could handle the position she trained hard and achieved first place in the archer competition. After awarding his daughter the medal, he called her to his chamber and told her it would soon be her fourteenth birthday and it was time for her to stop her foolishness and start training to become a Lady. Crestfallen, Andrea runs away to Don Pelayo on Boreal Island. On her way she falls down a cliff saved only by

What breaks my heart about this book is that I went into it really wanting to fall in love with. When I read the synopsis and saw that it contained time travel, fantasy elements, and even some coming of age difficulty, I really thought that this would be something I loved. Unfortunately, Two Moon Princess just didn't hold my attention the way I'd hoped.

This book surprised me. I felt it had a slow start, and it took me a while to get into it, but once the real story started, I really enjoyed it. This book didn't turn out anything like what I expected, and I really enjoyed that. I figured that it would be all about her time in California and less about her own world, but I was pleasantly surprised. I was a little bit confused about the time differences between the two worlds though. Andrea started the book at around 14 years old, but when she wa

I'm sorry to say that I was very disappointed in this book. The biggest problem is Princess Andrea herself. She's immature, self-absorbed, impulsive, and generally out of control. Initially this seems plausible for her age, since we're told that she's fourteen. However, it turns out that the year in her world is longer than ours, and in our years, she's seventeen. This does make the discussion of her admirers or lack thereof considerably less creepy, but even though seventeen-year-olds still hav

Through utter negligence, Andrea accidentally returns to her world with her Earth-born crush in tow, triggering a war, an angsty broken heart, and an adventure to make things right.

After spending her youth as a page, the book opens when Andrea is fourteen (though 17 in our reckoning) and facing her father's decision of whether she should continue her knightly training as a squire, or go to her mother's supervision to become a 'lady.'

Two Moon Princess is a wonderful book that kept me up turning its pages and reading well into the night. I was transported into Andrea’s world and didn’t want to leave. There was never a dull moment or a bland character. The author’s parallel worlds were richly described and all the characters grew throughout the story.
Andrea is a great strong character-she recognizes her duty to her kingdom, but also has a bit of a rebellious streak in her. She’s not a damsel in distress at all, but at th More...

I’m not entirely sure why I didn’t stop reading this book fifty pages in, and just mark it as “abandoned.” God knows it’s not like my free-reading time is unlimited, and I have stacks of way better books sitting around begging to be picked up. (Charity Girl! I have not forgotten you! Wait for me!) But I don’t rate abandoned books, and I *really* wanted to rate this one with the stars I felt it deserved, because all the reviews I looked at were So. Freaking. Positive. And I just… don’t un

Two Moon Princess isn't what I expected. Instead of being treated to some sort of sappy teen romance, I explored the world of a young woman who finds herself caught between two worlds and struggling to find her place. Though romance is an element of Two Moon Princess, it's certainly not the key element. More than anything else, Two Moon Princess explores the very real issues that teens deal with (caught between duty and desire) and presents a fascinating character that readers can relate to.

Two Moon Princess is the story of Andrea, a princess in an alternate world, who longs to break free from the confines of the royal life. If I understand correctly, the people of Andrea's world are the ancestors of the Spanish people. I found the fact that Andrea is, for all intents and purposes, a Latina heroine, to be a nice change. As there are far too few Latina main characters in most of the books I read.

Two Moon Princess by Carmen Ferreiro-Esteban has an incredibly intriguing and imaginative storyline.
The main character, Andrea, is relatively likeable, but at times she drove me a little nuts with her decisions or actions. The story had many characters that I couldn't connect with. The most frustrating of these characters was Tio, Andrea's uncle. From the beginning I thought he was going to be one of my favorite characters, but that thought dwindled as the story carried on.

Sometimes, I find myself craving a good romantic fairy tale. In times like these I usually turn to movies or television, but I had heard pretty good things about Two Moon Princess, and decided to give it a go, expecting it to be pretty run-of-the-mill--you know, something I could mindlessly read, that would satiate my fairy tale appetite. What I ended up getting was straight up lovely coming-of-age story with a really sweet romance intertwined in it.
