Review
Goodbye, My
Princess is a brilliant, albeit tragic, story. This book was riveting and
compulsively readable.
In Goodbye,
My Princess, Xiaofeng is a foreign princess living in the Li empire, wedded to
the crown prince, Li Chengyin. Xiaofeng and Li Changyin fight bitterly, while
Li Changyin carries a torrid affair with another woman. When a former
sweetheart she doesn't remember reappears in her life she becomes set on a
course for tragedy as she starts to piece together her past.
Xiaofeng is
a sweet but naive princess with a childlike sense of wonder. I found her
infectious and was glued to the pages of her story. The book is 60 percent
Xiaofengs story and 40 percent short stories from the perspectives of other
characters. Each story was equally engrossing.
This book
reads like a melodramatic c-drama full of depth, compelling scenes, and a great
love tragedy. That being said, there are a lot of animal deaths so if that's a
trigger for you, you may want to pass on this, though I myself have a hard time
reading those parts, it was worth it. This book is simply addictive, and I
can't recommend it enough. If you like sad love stories, tragic heroines,
c-dramas, asian fantasy, and historical fiction then you will devour this book.
