Book Reviews of The Princess and the Hound
Book Review: A beautifully woven tale
Summary: 5 Stars
I am incredibly impressed by how Mette managed to create a world where there is descrimination against a people who are unable to help what they are, and an aim to allow those people to not only escape their forced internal imprisonment but also allot for a potential change. She does not create "the perfect world" where once Prince George proclaims his own animal magic, but shows that not everyone is willing to change or show tolerance to those different to themselves; that bridges gaps beyond a fantasy world, and touches home to our own world.
I absolutely adore the fact that she wanted this to be a "Beauty and the Beast" type of novel, but in fact I see more relevance in comparing it to "Deerskin". While Deerskin is far more tragic, it has the same change-like qualities as well as the Princess and her own hound who share an unbreakable bond. That bond ultimately saves the main character's life. If you liked "The Princess and the Hound" definitely check out "Deerskin."
Summary of The Princess and the Hound
He is a prince and heir to a kingdom threatened on all sides, possessor of the forbidden animal magic.
She is a princess from a rival kingdom, the daughter her father never wanted, isolated from all except her hound.
In this lush and beautifully written fairy-tale romance, a prince, a princess, and two kingdoms are joined in the aftermath of a war. Proud, stubborn, and bound to marry for duty, George and Beatrice will steal your heart—but will they fall in love?
