The princess was a very interesting character to me. Throughout the book you find out many of her secrets. I liked this book because it keeps you in a lot of suspense and makes you want to read more. Avi writes so that I could imagine being in the dark castello. For example: "Though he tried to walk softly, Fabrizio's steps seemed to echo loudly. Never had the castello seemed so dark, so empty to him."
I would recommend this book to people of all ages because it has a surprise ending that everyone would like.
