Extended description

(Newly proofed and reformatted) Despite all the beauty and virtues expected of faerie tale princesses, Alix labored under a terrible curse: she was too smart, too knowledgeable, too capable. To set herself free, she had to kill the monstrous firedrake; though afterword, they became great friends…

Princess Alix's effortless intelligence so infuriates her father the king that he locks her up in a castle, utterly alone. To free herself, the ruthlessly logical princess must open her skeptical eyes to the magic all around her, beginning with the christening gifts that the faeries gave her as a baby. Only then, with their help and the help of Jack Brambel, an amiable duke-in-training, can Alix free herself, win her deadly battle with the monstrous firedrake, save her country, and revive the love of her father.

Review by: Ellen Fleischer on July 23, 2012 : star star star star
Fantastic! It's smart, it's funny, it's got a heroine with a believable flaw and some honest-to-goodness character growth. A real winner. Misses a perfect 5-star rating due to some random acts of boldness--not from the characters! I wouldn't dock it for that! From the font. If the formatting were fixed, it would get the full 5.
