Loading... A Prince Among Frogs: The Tales of the Frog Princess (edition 2011)by Katherine Kellgren (Narrator), E. D. Baker (Author), Recorded Books (Publisher)Millie and Audun are getting reading for their wedding when something goes terribly wrong-her brother, Felix, gets kidnapped. He is stuck in a pond with other frogs. The other adults are busy solving other problems in the kingdom so Mille and Audun know they need to help Felix. But in order to do this, they have to fight Wizard Olebald. They have to do all they can to get her brother back and the family together so they can continue on with the wedding! I'm sorry, but the premise is getting more stale, the characterizations and themes more thin, and the adventures more contrived. Two stars means 'it was ok' and it was. And if there comes a book 9 and my library system buys it, I'll read it. But I'm wondering if my overall rec. for this series for you is 'read the first, then stop.' I'm very sad that the series is over, but this book, like all the others in the series, was wonderful. Baker's stories are funny and fascinating, and it was good seeing Millie come into her own. I thought Auden and the romance was win, and I'm happy with the series, though, again, I'm sad to see it over. Reviewed by Kira M for TeensReadToo.com With their wedding just around the corner, Millie and Audun have their hands full getting the castle ready for a celebration filled with dragons, humans, and people on both sides who don't like each other. When Millie's mother, father, great-aunt, and great-uncle all get called away on magical business, Millie, Audun, and her cousin, Francis, are left to take care of the kingdom and whatever other business comes up. When her little brother, Felix, is kidnapped while she's away taking care of other matters, Millie must find the power within herself to save her brother. The problem, however, is that she has no witch magic to speak of, her parents have gone missing from their original destination, and Olebald the wizard is bent on getting his revenge against her family and their kingdom. Can Millie save the day? A must-read for anyone who likes fantasy and has read the other books in THE TALES OF THE FROG PRINCESS series. The characters are well-developed and true to their natures. The story is filled with lots of adventure, action, and high stakes. The plot is gripping and holds the reader's interest. Those who like fantasy, magic, action, and adventure will all enjoy reading A PRINCE AMONG FROGS. |
