Beverly Bartlett has written a book with interesting characters. Price Raphael (who is more interested in speech pathology and research than in being part of the royal family of Bisbainia) and Princess Izzy are very complex and interesting. At times, I wanted desperately to know who the author was writing about: it was as if I should remember this royal family somehow. But since it is all made up, I believe it was Bartlett’s creative writing that drew me in.
