Idk how I ever missed the royal diaries, especially as I was working the bookstore during that time frame. But I’m intrigued enough to want to catch the series.
I've read some of those stories when I was younger!! I used to get them as gifts. Even still, I'm not super excited for the series because I don't want to have to decipher between what's fact and fiction. On the flip side, Fire Bird looks really good.

ReplyDeleteYes, if they were written by Western authors there is bound to be tons of fiction in them.
