Princess Cimorene is not your average princess. She is bored of being an average princess. She is sick of being taught how to embroider when actually she wants to learn how to fence and cast magic spells. But she is always told that she isn’t fitting the stereotype and her parents despair of her. So one day they choose a prince for her to marry and this spurs Cimorene to seek her own destiny and becomes a dragon’s princess instead. This role suits Cimorene down to the ground and becomes happy within her new setting with Kazul, a dragon in need of someone to translate her scrolls and concoct magic potions. However, things are not always what they seem in the world of dragons and soon both Kazul and Cimorene have a plot they need to uncover before it becomes too late. I read this book while I was school (and, I’ll admit, that was a long time ago!). This book has not aged nor the sentiments that it holds. It is about breaking the stereotypes and succeeding even when the odds are against you. Cimorene is head strong and knows her own mind and becomes a pivotal part of the secret world of dragons. She proves her worth and is helpful, kind and generous without loosing her independence and drive. This book is perfect for anyone who loves positive role models and a fast paced tale with quirky and crazy characters within a highly believable world. I would highly recommend this and I can’t wait until my daughter is old enough to read this! Read this if you love kick-ass princesses, a pinch of magic and a whole lot of dragons and wizards!
