Swashbuckling in a magic world-L.A. style Sasharia en Garde book 1. Sasha's mother, Sun, was once swept away from a Ren Faire to another world by a prince-literally-but there was no happy ending. Sun's prince disappeared, and a wicked king took the Khanerenth throne. In the years since, Sasha and Sun have been back on Earth and on the run. Mom and daughter don't quite see eye to eye on the situation-Sasha wants to stand and fight. Sun insists her prince will return for them one day; it's safer to stay hidden. Then Sasha is tricked into crossing the portal to Khanerenth. She's more than ready to join the resistance, kick some bad-guy butt, and fix the broken kingdom. But.is the stylish pirate Zathdar the bad guy? Or artistic, dreamy Prince Jehan? Back on Earth, Sun is furious Sasha has been kidnapped. Sun might once have been a rotten princess, but nobody messes with Mom Warning: This title contains a kick-butt mother-daughter team, a wicked king, a witty pirate with an unfortunate taste for neon colors, inept resistance fighters, a dreamy prince who gallops earnestly hither and yon, and a kick-butt princess in waiting.… (más)

This is my first-ever 3 star did-not-finish. Why did I give a solid 3 star book a DNF? Because, halfway through, I peeked at the end to see if the pirate was really who I thought he was (he was) and discovered that this book ends on a cliff-hanger. I'm sorry, but I'm already committed to too many seemingly-unending series at this point to add yet another one to the list... especially when the books in said series end on cliff-hangers. *hate*

However, the story itself is more charming than I had expected and it has some fun nerd humor. I liked that both Sasha and her mother are smart, funny and have spent years in the dojo learning how to be kick-ass. (I didn't really like that it switched from Sasha's 1st person POV to 3rd person when following her mother's exploits, but whatever.)

If you have more tolerance than I do for fantasy-romance series with no real mythological underpinnings or apparent end, it might be worth checking out.

Excerpt from Sasha's point of view:

"Wait a minute, wait a minute," I cut in. "So you're trying to tell me that there's a tremendous treasure waiting for me?"
Both heads nodded.
"If I take up a cause, one that includes deep magic?"
Vehement nodding.
"And perhaps an ancient castle full of sinister secrets?"
"Yes!"
"And all for truth, justice and honor?"
"Yes, yes!"
My anxiety flared into anger.
"Oh no you don't," I snarled. "I've been there, done that, and they don't even give you T-shirts."

Sasha was born a princess in another world. She and her mother fled to Earth when she was ten, when her grandfather died and her aunt's husband took the throne for himself. Her father promised to come get them when it was safe, but fifteen years has passed and there's been no word from her father.
Sasha gets kidnapped and taken back to the other world by agents who claim to be her father's supporters. She is forced to run for her life from the king's soldiers, but she can't trust any of her companions since they were the ones who kidnapped her in the first place or the pirate Zathadar who saves her life but has his own agenda.

Since Court Duel is one of my absolute favorite books, ever, I always look forward to any of SS's new books. Sadly, the magic is never quite there. This one came closer than most of the others. Maybe the second half will be the one that makes it, after all I like Court Duel better than Crown Duel. There is the same intrigue. Is this person who seems bad actually trying to help, or does that benevolent person really have their own agenda? Such fun, even though I am fairly sure about who is going to turn out good. I liked the characters, I was surprised at how well drawn Sun was. I expected that she would just be an after thought to the story, but she actually has a large role. It's nice to watch her because, she knows how the politics game is played. All in all worth picking up. ( )

Sasha is a princess in a magical kingdom, but she grew up in Los Angeles after her mother returned with her to Earth to escape their enemies. Now those enemies have caught up with them and tricked Sasha into returning. Her mother has followed. But neither is free to act as they would wish, and they are not sure who to trust.

This is only half a story; it ends right in the middle of things. Don't read it without having the second half, Twice a Prince, readily to hand. ( )
