The Princess and The Bear

Sorry for writing this post a little late than I was supposed to you and yes I'm still holding on my promise,it's just I have been rewriting a lot lately so it's been quite hectic.Last week I managed to find a book called The Princess and the bear which made me automatically think of Brave.Anyway I did not know the book was a sequel until I searched about it when I finished the book.This book looked quite old but I decided to read because it was on sale.The book is written by Mette Ivie Harrison,it is the second book of the series and it was published in 2009.

The High and The Low
.I simply loved the the lore of the story
.The two main leads was interesting.

.I did not like the cover.
.It could have explored its lore more.

Quick Summary
She is finally a hound again,she is now staying with a king who had been transformed into a bear.While he can't understand they have a mutual understanding and the live peacefully together.One day the hound saw a creature who seemed to be causing death around him.She and the bear travelled to George to learn that the creauture was wielding unmagic and if it goes on they will be doomed.With no other choise the hound and the bear travelled to the wild man's domain as he is the only person powerful enough to stop unmagic.The bear tried leaving the hound by injuring her but she was determined to follow him to end.When they arrived the wild man confessed that he could not defeat it as he has grown weak.He asked the to go back two hundred years ago to sto the source of unmagic before it's too late,to make it easier the wildman turn the bear back into a human................................................I think I wrote too much.

The Conclusion
First of all,you can understand the book eventhough you did not read the first book.There may be some characters you dont know but they don't appear much so it does not really matter.I was really impressed by the lore of the story,the back story of the creatures were interesting.I would not have minded learning more of the world though I wished they would have explores more on the concept.The story was decent not that great but it wasn't bad either.I have to say that the two leads were definitely amusing.There is a king who had been transformed into a bear for more than century and hound who had finally turn back into a hound.Truthfully the title of the story confused me.shouldn't it be named The King and The Hound,after all the bear is originally human while the princess was actually a hound.I was not fond of the cover as you know I never liked my cover with real human on the cover.I have to say that I hoped that the story could be better but the lore was definitely good enough to make it a worth read.
