A princess fleeing an arranged marriage teams up with a snarky commoner to foil a rebel plot in B. R. Myers' Rogue Princess, a gender-swapped sci-fi YA retelling of Cinderella. Princess Delia knows her duty: She must choose a prince to marry in order to secure an alliance and save her failing planet. Yet she secretly dreams of true love, and feels there must be a better way. Determined to chart her own course, she steals a spaceship to avoid the marriage, only to discover a handsome stowaway. All Aidan wanted was to “borrow” a few palace trinkets to help him get off the planet. Okay, so maybe escaping on a royal ship wasn’t the smartest plan, but he never expected to be kidnapped by a runaway princess! Sparks fly as this headstrong princess and clever thief battle wits, but everything changes when they inadvertently uncover a rebel conspiracy that could destroy their planet forever.

princess delia is supposed to choose a prince to marry whose kingdom will help hers. she’s far from ready for marriage, though, so instead she steals a spaceship to run away on. instead, she discovers a handsome stowaway named aidan…and gets caught. she continues deliberating the marriage options while unable to deny her attraction to this commoner.
this was a really fun book, and it was a quick read, too! i will say, though, this book probably could have been a bit longer, as the ending felt rushed. there were so many plot twists that were revealed in the later part of the book that weren’t able to be all the way fleshed out. however, that didn’t take away from my overall enjoyment of this intriguing story filled with a forbidden/secret romance, nods to cinderella, and fantasy politics. i’d recommend this to anyone looking for a quick fantasy read.
