Review of The Mystic Princesses and the Whirlpool by P.J. LaRue

 The Mystic Princesses and the Whirlpool 
by P.J. LaRue

The Mystic Princesses is a good story for early readers as the plot line is fun and adventurous. The Mystic Princesses all have their own magical powers inherited from the God or Goddess parents and will be used to protect Harmonie whom the Children of Ares are after. I really enjoyed the girls all practicing their different magical abilities. The abilities are all very different and will invoke the imagination of those reading about these unique princesses.
There were some issues that I had while reading the book. It skimmed past the full introductions of the Mystic Princesses so I had a hard time visualizing what the girls looked like and what their personalities were like. Also, a lot of the situations they were in seemed a little rushed, like the book was compressed down so it jumped through big periods of time and then would focus on little situations that didn't really focus on the plot. It also read very, "next, after, then, last" which distracted from the story. Maybe a different choice of words to progress through the story may have helped.
Overall I could see my young daughter really getting into the princesses and their fun powers. Especially the part about riding dolphins and sliding down rainbows!
I received an copy of this book in return for my honest opinion, which this is.
