- It is all about girl power; it is the stories of Disney princesses, but NO damsels in distress.
- There are great plot twists.
- It is not horror at all and most parents (including mine, and I can’t even watch PG 13 movies) will let you read it.
- Super captivating, no repeats in the books.
- It just keeps on going, there are four books, a prequel and an extra set of books.
- It switches between chapters, so the main character of that book, then the characters of the previous books.
- You literally can’t stop reading it. I just sit on the couch and read it.
