2.5 stars
I wanted to like it, it sounded so interesting. But it just... wasn`t. Sarah was a bit annoying and Harry was okay. But not really interesting.

Entering the library to visit with his daughter, the older man was convinced to entrance children with a story. Becoming a storyteller, he entranced the children to sit down in front of him to listen to the story. With the help of some of the children whom asked questions and at times interrupted his chain of thoughts. At times the storyteller wasn’t up to finishing the story as it brought many different memories for him. As the story progressed he realised his princess was one of the children and the villain began to emerge. The storyteller went out of his way to protect his family, the girls family and the other children and their families. Giving a five star rating as a reader who loves a book with many twists and turns which leads to a cliffhanger hanger of an ending. I am on tenderhooks waiting on the next instalment. Definitely a recommended book series for those who love Christian sci fi and fantasy styled stories.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from BooksGoSocial via NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own thoughts, feelings and viewpoints of the book. #ThePrincessWhoForgotSheWasBeautiful #NetGalley

this was a great fairy tale story, the characters were great and I really enjoyed reading it overall.

Interesting characters. Intriguing plot. Dynamic prose. My attention was held the entire time. I enjoyed my time reading this one. I’d suggest this story to everyone who likes a more contemporary stuff.

Not my favorite type of storytelling. I believe the author was trying to maintain the mystery by having the main character only known as the “old man” or “ the storyteller,” but it made it hard to connect with the character. The whole book was written as if a storyteller was telling a story to a group of children, therefore the whole book was written in a passive voice. Very very difficult (and boring) to read. The characters were flat and I never focused enough to follow the plot. I gave up on this book pretty quickly. Not my cup of tea.

I was provided this ebook free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

This was a very interesting read. Howbeit, I was a bit surprised by some of the drama. This book isn't for the faint of heart.

I was unable to download my books from Netgalley for approximately two weeks. As far as I know this was some kind of technical failure on they're part, which they were able to correct shortly (within four to five days) after they received my help request, and I am now able to obtain my downloads. So I'm sincerely hoping you will be able to give me access to download them now. Thank You.

I really appreciated how original this story felt and how adorable and even fierce some of the characters were. Hank, an elderly man, begins to narrate a story for children that attend his daughter's library (she is the librarian). As hank tells his story the children become so absorbed that they would rather spend the night there and continue to listen, rather than going home, in anticipation of what happens next. Not only are the children infatuated with Hank's story telling, but so are the parents; this leads to a myriad of people showing up for "story time" and bringing their children every time Hank is there. The story Hank unfolds is so unique and so exciting, but little did the children know the story was about to play out right before their very eyes.

If you like dragons, princesses and knights in shining armor; including adorable little kids and their silly reactions, then this book is for you. Although- it's not all just full of cuteness, as there is a villain waiting to be unleashed and darkness to be unveiled.

Thank you to the author for an ARC copy of this book, I enjoyed it and am happy to learn there will be 4 more books to this series.

Caution - this book is not for children! An old man agrees to share a story at the local library. He started telling the story, it was about a princess who forgot she was beautiful, she was 16, she cussed, spitted, and was unkind to others.
Then, a commotion at the local market by a rambunctious 500 pound pig occurred. This pig chased a boy, who ate the backside of his pants, then he grabbed the pigs snout, rode it, and seized the nearest person, the princess to shield him.
The princess did so, then was angry at the people who made fun of Harry, the boy who captured the pig.
Harry was embarrassed because he had used the princess as a shield.
Then, the princess was captured by Romlott Hus, an evil dragon, who wanted to destroy the princess’ kingdom.
Harry dreams that he sees the princess, she begs him to rescue her......

The Princess who forgot she was beautiful by William David Ellis. A remarkable book that I was initially a little skeptical of, but turned out to be much better than my expectations!
