Princess of Prias by Courtney Davis – Review by Santana Hicks
Princess of Prias by Courtney Davis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Elle has always been different but she could never put her finger on why other than the obvious star shaped birthmark and purple eyes. After the death of the woman who raised her named Aunt Sara, she came across a box that was labelled with Elle’s name on it. When going through the box, Elle found a journal and a bracelet from her biological mother who died after giving birth. The journal was in a language she did not recognize and the bracelet glowed and had weird inscriptions in the same foreign language. Elle also felt a weird pain shot through her birthmark.
Over the next couple days, the feelings do not subside. A man, named Locan, approaches her and confirms she is indeed different. She is the lost princess of a Utopia called Prias. Her whole life is turned upside down. Learning the truth of her own family and the betrayal behind it, Elle and Locan know that she was meant to rule but can they take down everyone and everything in their way?
This book was a very fun read. I found Elle’s character to be very relatable. The author did an amazing job introducing each character and world building. I could not put the book down. I had to find out what happened next! I also really enjoyed that Elle wasn’t an 18 year old when she learned she was a princess. She was already an established woman with a career, making her that much more relatable to me as an adult myself.
