Chronicle Supposing Books The Decoy Princess (Princess #1)

Princess Contessa of Costenopolie knows everything a royal should about diplomacy, self-defense, politics... and shopping. She ought to. She had every reason to believe that she was groomed to rule. But her next lesson is in betrayal...

The sudden arrival of her betrothed, a prince from the kingdom of Misdev, has forced Tess's parents to come clean: She's no princess. Their real daughter was raised in a nunnery for fear of assassins. Tess is nothing but a beggar's child bought off the streets as an infant and reared as a decoy.

So what's a royal highness to do when she discovers she's a royal target? Ditch the Misdev soldiers occupying the palace, use magical abilities she didn't even know she had, restore the real princess to the throne, and save her own neck. But first, Tess has to deal with the scoundrel who's urging her to run away from it all, and the Misdev captain who's determined to thwart her plans...

Assessment Regarding Books The Decoy Princess (Princess #1)

A fun read, but not one of my favorites. Dawn Cook has great characters, and I'm excited to read the second one for more development in their relationships. Tess is a fun mix of girlish princess and assassin. I would have liked her to kick some batooty with her whip, but the darts were fun, too. Can't wait to see more of Jeck!

All her life, Princess Contessa of Costenopolie has been raised as a proper princess should, well-versed in fashion, diplomacy, politics, and shopping. However, she's also been trained quite thoroughly in how to protect herself, by Chancellor Kravenlow, who has spent years teaching her how to use various easily-hidden weapons, including venom-laced darts. Tess has never thought much about it, really. Being a princess is a dangerous job, and sometimes a girl has to protect herself. However, every

This book BARELY passed The Bechdel Test (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bechdel...), and even then I believe I was over halfway through it before it did even that. I mean, come on! The main character is a woman!I enjoy straightforward, fluff fantasy books and like to have a few on the go to balance out some of the heavier things I am reading. It's not like I have very high expectations for them -- but even so this one really fell flat.

Three and a half stars. At points, it was nudging a 5, but at others... Very uneven, but had a lot of good stuff in it. (Including the fact that Tess's supposed parents weren't the monsters that the King and Queen in Eilis O'Neal's The False Princess were.) With a lot of tightening-up, this could have been awesome instead of enjoyable.

Tess is not a princess. She was brought up as one, but sadly the secret is out. She is a decoy, raised to die in the real princesss place.However, Tess isnt easily killed, as a variety of assassins have learned over the years. She is, in fact, highly skilled at throwing poison darts.But it will take more than that to defeat her former intended and his Misdev soldiers suddenly occupying the palace. As well a certain maddeningly unshakable captain bent on hunting her down.The Decoy Princess is a

I've been reading alot of books lately where the girl is always in need of being saved, while her romantic interests are falling over themselves trying to protect her. That is not the case with this book!Our story begins with a young princess named Tess, eagerly anticipating her wedding day. Your typical princess story. Right? Wrong! She soon learns that while she was raised lovingly by the king and queen, she is only a decoy -- the target of numerous assassination plots in order to safeguard

This is the first book in Cooks Princess duology. Dawn Cook also writes as Kim Harrison. I enjoyed this fun fantasy adventure novel. The book is very YA in tone and is mostly about the heroine figuring out who she is (both in an actual and more philosophical sense).I listened to this on audiobook and it was decently done. It wasnt my favorite audiobook because I didnt like the voice the narrator used for Tess and found it distracting. I never really got used to it. I would recommend reading this
