My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Overbearing royal families and royal duties become too much for Princess Mora who decides to take advantage of the possibility of adventure with Darin, a rebel pilot, shirking her betrothed responsibilities. Darin, however, is unaware of Mora’s royal title and obligations as First Princess to unite her home planet with the moon planet, Xot.
Kudos to Fantasia Yu for developing many other moons, planets, worlds and galaxies that wrestle with politics, love and opposing planetary views.

True Colors (Landry's True Colors #1)True Colors by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was a good read in how realistic Landry’s every day life was as a young teenage girl- you know, other than the modeling contract, that’s less ordinary! What WAS ordinary, sadly, is how her “friends” responded.
So many themes of this story rang true from what I remember of my teenage years; the insecurities and desires to fit in, the boy crazy feelings that run through groups of friends and the fear of offending anyone and everyone unintentionally.
In all honesty, the realistic nature of the stories left me feeling uncomfortable remembering my own teenage years, not something I had anticipated reliving any time soon! Kudos to Ms. Hager for creating parallels that most every teenage girl can relate to!
