Reviews of the works of Kirsty Demuth
"A Princess on Her Own Terms is a refreshing twist on the classic fairy-tale formula. Kirsty Demuth creates a magical world filled with legendary creatures, unexpected turns and a heroine who stands out not because of her traditional beauty, but because of her strength, wit and authenticity. The story beautifully celebrates courage, diversity and self acceptance, while highlighting the power of resilience in the face of envy and diversity. A charming, imaginative, and empowering read that leaves you inspired and full of hope."
Valerie Behiery
"Her voice is real. It hits with honesty and humor... Some ideas in the story hit me harder than others... Sweet, funny and surprisingly thoughtful... Messy, clever, hungry, bold and soft all at once."
Literary Titan
A Princess on Her Own Terms is sweet, funny, and surprisingly thoughtful. I would recommend it to readers who enjoy fairy tales, especially those who want a heroine who does not fit the usual mold. It is great for younger readers who need a reminder that they do not have to shrink to shine, and for adults who still believe stories can be gentle and brave at the same time. I think anyone who loves a good comfort read will enjoy this book.
