Princess Academy - Likewise Book Reviews

"I feel a sense of comfort when I read this book, one of my favorites ever since I was little. I rlly love this book. The storyline was incredibly interesting and I loved the characters. ♥️"

"This book was fine. Didn't quite capture my interest like I wanted, but I did more so in the end. I probably won't read the second book."

"I cannot believe I never added this book on here! This is one of my all-time favorites by an author I absolutely adore. <br/>READ THIS BOOK."

"Exceptional middle grade/early YA fiction. Strong female characters, some light realistic romance in a way that doesn't undermine the character development. I'm quite certain this is a re-read for me but it's been a VERY long time. Can't wait to get into the sequels."

"Love KOTLC and the Renegades trilogy! Maybe try one of those next!"

"I read the whole series every summer without fail, it is a timeless, heartwarming story that I will love forever."

"I thought I would hate this but I read it and I was so wrong. So cute"

"A fun read, it's a comfort book for sure!"

"Land of stories was my favorite as a kid"

"the unique setting really separates it from other "girls compete to marry prince/become royalty" stories. quarryspeak is such an enticing concept that I still think about to this day"

"I find Miri only slightly annoying as a character. However, for a book written in 2005, she's actually a very believable heroine. At first I thought the pick me energy was going to be awful because of the fact that she was "small" but the preemie thing was such a good addition to the book/plot. Turns out Miri knows that if you're going to change a system you have to both work outside of it and undermine it (slay). What can we say, she was ahead of her time. <br/><br/> The audiobook made the dialogue sound extremely cringey, ESPECIALLY Peters. If Miri and Peter are not endgame I'm throwing hands, by the way. Miss Miri is always shooting herself in the foot with Peter and I'm so bothered by her.<br/><br/>I really liked the end of the book, but hated the first part (it was going to be 2-3 stars, but the ending solidly raised it). I feel like I'm catching up on childhood staples. I love princess books."

"Like all Shannon Hale books, it’s beautifully written, Miri’s voice is distinct and v well done, it’s a book I’ve loved since I was a child, it’s just amazingly rereadable"

"I think it is! If you like books like “Ella Enchanted,” you’ll like this one! "

"My favorite is Graceling by Kristin Cashore"

"i haven’t read many books as of late but i’m currently reading a series called Arc of a Scythe by Neal Shusterman, it’s really good!"

"Such a great book.. filled with adventure and so much more. Loved reading this ❤️"

"Shannon Hale is my idol!"
