This book was a bit unexpected. Who would’ve thought of a castle that is alive and that can add rooms or switch around hallways? That is exactly what this book did. It was a fun adventure. I grew to like Celie. She is one of the princesses at the castle. The castle likes her a lot and she finds the castle a big help when the castle and kingdom are threatened. I enjoyed using my imagination and thinking of what it would be like to be in a castle that if it liked you suddenly your room was soft and luxurious. Or if the castle didn’t like you it would seem to get smaller and cramped and military like. It was so cool to cheer for the royal family that lived in the castle and hope they came out of it alright. Jessica Day George makes a story feel real even though there is magic and things that are not typical in real life. It seemed that it could happen. I had fun with this book.
