I cannot wait until May! I had planned to pick this up when it came out, but, after reading the excerpt provided, I think it will be even better than I had expected. I'm really excited to read this one. The story is immediately engaging. I cannot wait to see what adventures the princess and Simon will encounter, as well as the backstory of Queen Rielle and the mythology the governs the realm she rules.
The cover is well designed and appropriate. The sword depicted as passing through the crowns of light (represented by the while jewels at top) and blood (bottom) implies the conflict between those respective forces described in the synopsis and on the passages provided. Good choice!
