Similar in tone and situation to [b:Igraine the Brave|613866|Igraine the Brave|Cornelia Funke|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328843240s/613866.jpg|2290819], and likely to appeal to the same readers. The King and Queen have disappeared, and it's up to the princess and her siblings to save the castle, the country, and the day. There's never much peril because Celie lives in a sentient castle that's looking out for her, as are her older brother and sister, and all the servants who just adore her. There's a lot of unexamined privileged, but I adore Castle Glower, and I enjoy a heroine who is exploring, and asking questions, and examining the world around her.I look forward to seeing what happens in the next book.Library copy.
