In The Battle for Princess Madeline by Kirstin Pulioff, I was introduced to the kingdom of Soron and its ruling family, which included the title character, Princess Madeline. Finding a suitable mate is often a concern for the princes and princesses of a ruling family, though this is not the case with Princess Madeline. Her heart has been won by First Knight Daniel, and she is happily preparing for her royal wedding. When a rival suitor, Prince Paulsen, arrives then problems arise. He believes it is his right to marry the Princess, and will stop at nothing to achieve this marriage so that his own kingdom will prosper. Add to this family secrets and heavy choices to be made, and this book is quite a charmer, perfect for younger readers.
This book sucked me in from the beginning. I didn’t realize for some time that this was not the first book in the series, but Kirstin Pulioff wove The Battle for Princess Madeline skillfully enough that I was able to fully enjoy this story, even though I had not read the previous book, The Escape of Princess Madeline. This is a book meant for younger readers, and it will surely delight them with its tales of knights and wizards and dragons. If I have any complaint at all, it is that there were too many winks and eye twinkles for my liking, but that does not detract from the story. This is a wonderful story that will leave readers anxiously awaiting the next installment of Princess Madeline’s tale.
