I finally had the chance to read Mark of the Princess and I had the pleasure of seeing a beautiful world that debut author B.C. has brilliantly created.  Despite some weaknesses in the story, I so enjoyed reading about these fae creatures and their unique features, both physically and in the use of their magic skills.  My favorite character was the villain because he was accurately described, desperate, constantly seeking new ways to impart his vengeance, but he didn't scare me or surprise me.  He didn't disappoint me either and he kept the story interesting while constantly challenging the main characters.  There is also a love triangle in the story, but I had no trouble choosing who I think Alannah should end up with.The biggest problem I had with this story were the grammar mistakes; they stood out to me and were somewhat distracting at times.  However, this is a great fantasy book that gives readers a clean adventure story with flawed characters and heroic ones finding their way and bringing justice as they do so.  I even relate to Alannah in a way; she's the daughter of a King, she's extremely sheltered, and she has abilities that she doesn't understand until she is forced to use them.  Yet during the course of certain hardships she faces, she finds herself and is determined to do the right thing.  B.C. Morin is a gifted author and shows the reader that her stories will only continue to improve.
