Renard found them, threatened them and Ama easily agreed to marry him after all the trouble just because she knew she can't fight to kill them. From the start, the author has been describing Ama as this ruthless and fearless princess, only to not meet the expectation towards the end. I find none of the characters revolutionary. I was reading and waiting for the story to develop but it was painfully deliberate. It felt almost repetitive every time and making it hard for me to get into. The Princess Will Save You has 53 short chapters sure, but imagine taking eight chapters just to talk about the king's death, but without much going on. However, this entire storyline was quite bland and it took me a long time to finish it. I am not a fan of slow-paced books, but I do find some of them that worked well. My first problem with the book is that the plot ran a bit slowly for me, especially in the beginning. And I don't know if this contributed to one of the reasons as to why I didn't find myself enjoying this. Not sure if I have to know how the Princess Bride goes since I never read the book nor have I watched the movie (I'm just not a tv person in general) so, I had a hazy sense of how the book will be. Decided to read this one because I get to know that this is a gender-bent of the Princess Bride retelling.
