Review of 'Some Enchanted Evening (Lost Princesses, Book 1)' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
The first book in a trilogy. Fairly enjoyable; I might read the others.
Clarice is a princess without a country. She is exile with her little sister, hiding from those intent on taking her country and removing her grandmother from power.

Nothing new with the storyline from other novels of the type, but I did find it an amusing way to pass the afternoon.
