REVIEW: ‘The Princess Will Save You’ by Sarah Henning is a passionate feminist fantasyĪs for the younger female characters, Ula continues to stand out at every turn, which is something the story heavily emphasizes.Interview: Talking fierce feminism with author Sarah Henning (‘The Princess Will Save You’).Despite their flaws, of which there were many, they added a lot of depth to the story. I really appreciated the deep dive into these older female characters as that isn’t something I usually come across in YA. We get to explore the motivations behind Koldo’s, Ines’ and Geneva’s actions in depth too, as well as get some chapters from their POVs. Just like in The Princess Will Save You, the female characters are in the spotlight here.

Facing unspeakable betrayals, enemies hidden in the shadows, and insurmountable odds, their only hope is the power of true love… Arrayed against them are all the players in the game of thrones for control over the continent of The Sand and Sky. To stay together forever, Princess Amarande and her stableboy love, Luca, must part: Amarande to reclaim her kingdom from usurpers, and Luca to raise a rebellion and find his destiny. The breathtaking sequel to The Princess Will Save You in the Kingdoms of Sand and Sky duology - a brilliantly-executed YA fantasy homage to The Princess Bride The Queen will Betray You by Sarah Henning mirrors the first book in the duology as Amarande has to escape the castle and journey to Torrence, though this time it’s to fight by Luca’s side.
