I finally got around to writing this review. It took me
quite some time to think about what to write about it. Though I will
try to write positively about it, as it was pretty amusing &
exciting, I just didn't like it. I didn't approve and like how the
author made the main character, Pearl (a simple fisherman's daughter)
and James (a prince) so intimate. It was very early on the story, and
then, all of a sudden these 2 new characters come from the blue and
love both of them... I just didn't like it... It might've been okay
with Kale, one of the new characters, being in love with Pearl, because
they were engaged since her birth and from him she finds out her true
ancestry. The girl who falls in love with Prince James, Faye, I just
don't approve of the love-at-first-sight thing. It just didn't seem
right, with the devotion James showed towards Pearl through the start.
Okay, so I won't rate positive, because I really don't want to. It was
just so catastrophically annoying.
