The Bekka Chronicles #7
Quen Nim
Nimble Missst, shapeshifting Cloud Castle City princess, rages against her betrothal to the ridiculous Blossom Prince, Zootch. Reluctantly bound to duty, she agrees to go through with the marriage, but always in her snapjaw mind she devises plans of escape. On the day the vows are to be exchanged, her startling violet eyes flash in disbelief when she learns that Zootch has fled Blossom in terror, saying he’s always been afraid of Nimble Missst. Newly enraged, she sets off in hot pursuit of the prince. It becomes a game of hide and seek, pitting the snapjaw mind of Nimble Missst against the surprising cleverness of Zootch.

This was a very interesting book that I mostly enjoyed. However, I was unable to finish reading it due to the language. The language, the invented words and all threw me off, and there were times I was confused about what was going on, and so I ended up not finishing the book, as I'm not a fan of "whimsical" writing. If you need an example, read the excerpt, that's pretty much what the entire book is like. There's nothing wrong with that, it's just not my cup of tea. All in all though, I would still recommend this book, as it has an interesting story and characters, and is a book that both teens and adults would like. My only warning would be that if you aren't a fan of the writing style in the excerpts, then you probably won't enjoy this book, but if you like a more whimsical writing style and a great adventure with a strong female protagonist, this book is for you.
