Robert is sooooo sweet. He's not the "bad guy" hot, but sweet he-totally-understands-and-complete-gentlemen type. Very protective to the point that it's a fault - but no less attractive, trust me. Also, the fact that he's from the frontier is really cool.
Also, his dad was the previously the King's Spy, which is unique in and of itself. Oh, and did I mention his duels with Aurelia are sooooo much fun to read. He's always fighting her, but in a good way if that makes sense. I really liked the horse aspect in the book.
I wasn't really expecting it, but there's actually a lot to do, but this really brings out the culture of the land. That was the other thing I enjoyed reading. The plot was fairly good. Also, it's very clean, so appropriate for younger readers, but still a great book for lovers of YA thank you so much, Ms. Sexual Content: Mild Kissing. Violence: Some, but no details.

It only took me a few hours to read this - not in the least because it's short or anything, but because it was such an enjoyable reading experience. I wish all authors could pace their stories the way Ms. Osterlund does. Her sequences of events flow very effortlessly and never once does the story lag or excelerate too rapidly. I love it when authors take the time to visualize for us the worlds they create, and I got such vivid descriptions of the places in the story that I felt like I could paint them.
So bravo and thank you for that! Now that may sound like the most basic assessment out there, but so many books have characters that are just really random and don't seem to serve much of a function other that background drapery. Here, every person we are introduced to matters and has a very special role to play in the story's development.
I especially liked how she wrote Robert: he was strong and smart yet deeply caring. She was a little too spunky and plucky for my taste, and she got on my nerves sometimes in what I perceived as her constant need to be right: with her father, with Robert, etc. If I was reading this as a teen, I would probably not even notice it, but I'm 21 years old and so that kind of stood out to me. And they did! View all 3 comments.
Aug 31, Twinkle rated it liked it. An assassin trailing the princess, a spy obstinate enough to find the assassin and a headstrong female character? I was definitely excited to read Aurelia. The whole idea was great and it had the potential to be an exceptional read but 3. The whole idea was great and it had the potential to be an exceptional read but its execution lacked details. It was kind of hollow. Not much was happening and the constant sense of danger that you would feel for the person with an assassin on her trail, was gone.
Now on to the characters, Aurelia at first appeared as a headstrong protagonist but with each passing page I felt more and more disconnected to her. From time to time her action annoyed me, and left me rolling my eyes. The writing style was good. Aurelia was written in third person and it was pretty easy to keep up with everything happening. Although the description of surroundings sometimes got over the top and it pulled me out of the flow sometimes, yet Aurelia proved to be a pretty engaging read.
The mood of the book was mysterious and frankly, quite dull. The talk about horses got me interested. The romance in the book was not well developed. When the story is about a princess and especially when it is a historical fiction, romance does come to your mind. Although I am not a huge fan of romance, yet I felt the relationship between Aurelia and Robert lacked development. On the whole Aurelia is a quick, light, engaging and a pretty decent read with a mystery that will keep you guessing till the end.

Several assasination attempts later and her old classmate Robert Vauntage is back at the castle to try and solve the mystery of who wants to kill Aurelia. The characterization is very sparse, but the effect, overall, works. Though the characters are more colourful vignettes than fully-fleshed out individuals with minute psychological description, we still have the measure of most of the players.
Greedy, selfish and deceptive Melonie - beautiful, g Aurelia, crown princess of Tyrult, is in danger. Greedy, selfish and deceptive Melonie - beautiful, gifted, yet still not satisfied with anything less than the crown. And she is willing to do anything to get it. Elise, the cold, distant and constantly critiquing step-mother, who verbally abuses Aurelia. Aurelia's own father, the King, who essentially is weak, self-absorbed and loathesome. His own flaws and sins gave rise to the entire situation.
Robert, quiet, unassuming, honest and brave. And he does care very much for Aurelia. Aurelia, in turn, is spirited, independent, obstinate. She strives to be a good person, but is surrounded by corruption.
It felt like a quick and easy ending and I really feel that there is a sequel somewhere waiting to be published. Especially with all the unanswered questions about Aurelia's mom and the people from across the sea Sep 10, Allison rated it it was ok Shelves: ya-fantasy , ya-romance. Aurelia is next in line for the throne, and set to marry a truly awful king who is looking to expand his territory, so to speak.
All she wants is to ride her horse, see her country, and get to know the people she will one day rule. When a plot on her life interupts both plans, the spy-master's son comes to solve the case.
I should love this book. It sounds awesome, right? I disliked Aurelia from the first chapter. You know how in these kinds of stories there is either a perfect princess, or an i Aurelia is next in line for the throne, and set to marry a truly awful king who is looking to expand his territory, so to speak.
You know how in these kinds of stories there is either a perfect princess, or an imperfect princess? Well she was the perfect imperfect princess, so much so that she drove me up a wall.
That being said, I would probably read a sequel. Dec 05, Amelia rated it really liked it Shelves: best-plot , best-romance , spy-books , historical-fiction , reviewed , best-action. Aurelia I must say is a brilliantly written novel. The plot is one of the best I've read, keeping me riveted to the pages. The style reminds me a lot of Tamora Pierce minus the fantasy twists.
I just have to add that I was so excited about the ending and I thought the closing was amazingly done. Very satisfying way to go into the next book. Aurelia showed them good! I must find more of Ms. Osterlund's work. I'm definitely taking tips from her on plot twists. Jul 11, Marilyn rated it really liked it. I wasn't entirely sold the first half of the book, but towards the end I liked it.

I was first drawn to it by the beautiful cover and the story sounded intriguing. I enjoyed the mystery although, it was fairly obvious and the relationship between Robert and Aurelia.
The ending felt a bit rushed and left me wanting more. When Aurelia learns the truth I was hoping that she would be resolved to go in search of her mother, but there was nothing. There was a huge lack of emotion of Aurelia and again I was hoping that the path she chose at the end would be one in search of her mother, not adventure. This is odd because she claims to really want to know and help her people. I read somewhere that this may be the start of a trilogy; I am hoping that is the case.
Maybe some of my concerns will be answered in other books. This was Anne Osterlunds first novel, it is exciting to read someone first work, I do look forward to seeing what she comes up with next.

Pretty much every little girl has imagined being a princess and how great that would be. Well, Aurelia is a princess, a crown princess, and her story shows that it's not everything our little kid selves hoped it was. Aurelia's mother left after her brother died in a horseback riding accident years ago. These losses caused her father the king to shut down; he hardly ever talks to her anymore. Her stepmother Elise and she do not have a great relationship, although she loves her stepsister Melody.
Her last remaining real friend has just wedded and is moving away. Even worse than all of this, someone is trying to kill her. Read online and download as many books as you like for personal use.
