The Princess Spy Fairy Tale Romance Series Melanie Dickerson Books

The Princess Spy is a retelling of The Frog Prince. Margaretha is being pursued by Lord Claybrook, a dashing English nobleman. He seems like a good man and it appears that Margaretha has found her true love at last. However, an injured man named Colin ends up at Hagenheim and warns Margaretha that Lord Claybrook is not who he seems to be. Because of Colin’s warning about Lord Claybrook, she overhears Claybrook’s plans to kill her father and brother, and plots to take over Hagenheim. Can Margaretha save her family before it is too late?

I didn’t really like Margaretha in The Captive Maiden. She seemed to be a bit of an airhead. However, in The Princess Spy, she really grew on me and became a likeable character. She is very energetic and has a bubbly personality. She is also mature and clever. I love that she is very stubborn and is willing to do anything to rescue her family. I also love how strong she is and that she can fight and take care of herself. I also like that her love interest is Colin, who is the descendant of Annabel and Ranulf in The Merchant’s Daughter. I liked the interactions between Colin and Margaretha, for it is very amusing because they are very alike. Both of them are very strong-willed and have their own ideas about how they should solve the situation. Yet, they are a good pair because they have to make hard choices and must rely on each other to solve them.

Overall, this story is about friendship, family, courage, love, trust, hope, and choices. The message of the book is to trust in God. I liked how this book was connected to all of the other books in the series. All the characters were really fun, and the villain was very interesting. This story was very fast-paced and action-packed. This book also had a lot of intrigue. In fact, I was hooked from the very first page because it opens with a murder and the hero seeking revenge. All of Mrs. Dickerson’s books are standalones, and it is not necessary to have read other books in the series. However, I find it is helpful to begin with the oldest novel, The Healer’s Apprentice, and read them chronologically. Many characters reoccur in other stories, and when they do show up, one is more familiar with them and how they affect the overall world in her novels. It is fun to see the threads come together over time and follow the storylines of some characters across several years. I recommend this book to lovers of fairy tales, their retellings, and anybody who wishes to read a fun fantasy series that is Christian-based.

The Princess Spy Fairy Tale Romance Series Melanie Dickerson Books Reviews

If you are a fan of Melanie Dickerson at all, then you have been able to watch the saga of Haggenheim from the beginning. You have been able to follow the family of Rose and Wilhelm Hamlin whom we first met in The Healer’s Apprentice. Since then we have seen the romance and adventure of their two sons, Gabe in The Fairest Beauty and Valten in The Captive Maiden. The Princess Spy is a continuation of the story except this time the story is focused on their eldest daughter, Margaretha.

From the beginning, you see that Margaretha is a headstrong and independent young woman. She is witness to a potter bringing a wounded stranger to the healer and while it is not ideal that she be there, Margaretha enters the healer’s home and helps out with the handsome stranger. The stranger she meets is connected to another family that we are familiar with from Melanie’s stories, but I won’t spoil it for you by telling you where he comes from. Margaretha is intrigued by this stranger, especially when she figures out that he is not German, but from another country and speaks another language. From this point on the adventure begins when it is discovered that an evil man is attempting to take over Haggenheim and kill Lord Hamlin and his son Valten. Margaretha and the stranger, who is named Colin, go searching for help and encounter many obstacles along the way.
I loved this book. I had a hard time at first figuring out what fairy tale it was linked to. I eventually saw some faint ties to The Frog Prince—although Colin is in no way a frog. I loved the action and I loved the way Margaretha jumped in on the adventure even when Colin practically begs and pleads her to stay where it is safe. Margaretha is determined that she will be the one to save her family and no one is going to stop her. I appreciate her fierce loyalty to her family and wanting to stand up for what is right. She has lived a sheltered life but she does not shirk what she feels is her responsibility, even in the face of hardships.

I love the fact that Melanie has managed to find a way to connect people and families that you wouldn’t expect to have a connection. It almost makes me giddy when I see reference to beloved characters from other stories that you have wondered how life went after the story was over. I believe Melanie did an excellent job of tying these characters in without it seeming too farfetched and unbelievable. It just made sense.
Another part of the story that I loved was her use of Psalm 1 as a lifeline for Margaretha. I have a personal attachment to Psalm 1 and so to see it used as a help and encouragement to her when she was struggling made me appreciate her even more as a character. Margaretha showed a rock solid faith that God was going to take care of it, even when it seemed like things couldn’t get any worse. She was also able to help Colin come to a realization that he needed to let go of the guilt of things that were out of his control.

Overall, this story was entertaining, but also an encouragement to me. Even when times are tough and it seems like the bad guys are going to win, God’s got things under control and His way will come through in the end.
