Reviews

[Hannah Belyea · Rating 2 out of 5]

Unlike the other princesses, Florizella would much rather being out adventuring that trying to follow the endless rules her contemporaries do - even if it means being singled out by Prince Bennett, who she has to convince does not get to marry her just because society says so! Gregory and Darke offer children a decently chuckle-worthy tale headed by a likeable enough lead, though overly didactic and tonally bland. No one can stop Florizella from living how she sees fit!
