This can be a very confusing story for the reader as each chapter is narrated by a different person from a different point of view. Not all of the princesses are very likeable; by the end I really found Su-dio and Rozanna to be ineffectual, and Fernando to be way too spoiled. Chaka and Jessie were the only characters that I still found likeable by the end of the book. The male characters were no better; I especially was confused by the relationship between Fernando and her fiancé Alban. On the plus side, there is a good storyline with plenty of action, and the villains were satisfyingly evil. The subplot of the kidnapped humans is interesting also. I was also interested in the interplanetary politics and the familial relationships between the characters. I also had to laugh at the character names of the women, they also seem to be related to pop music from the eighties, and I laughed out loud at Rozanna's fiancé's name, Rufus Lee, which is also a name for an insanity hearing. The author is very witty and the dialogue reflects this, but I just wish the story had been told from one point of view instead of five.
