Princess Ruby of Spinal is abducted, and people across the
Kingdom have all heard the rumors about her disappearance. When
an investigation is launched to look into the Princess's kidnapping,
various accounts of eyewitnesses and perspectives of the people close to the
incident build up a narrative that makes the situation more complicated. Does
the Princess's kidnapping have anything to do with the forthcoming anniversary
of the Storm of the Screaming Skies? Has the Princess been kidnapped by the
mysterious cultist group, A Capella? Or have the families of the Kingdom made a
heinous attempt to regain the throne by the abduction of the Princess? After
the initial investigation, a heroic plan is made for the Prince Stoic of Anima
to rescue the Princess in distress to win her hand in marriage. But is Princess
Ruby the traditional damsel in distress who needs to be saved by her charming
prince? The twists are aplenty and readers will be surprised at what follows.
The Daughters of Despair by Andrew Rivas is a riveting
tale following the mysterious abduction of Princess Ruby of Spinal. With rich
three-dimensional characters and superior world-building, Rivas draws readers
into the story in a way that is irresistible. The story is told from varying
perspectives making for an interesting read while allowing points of view to
shine in a unique manner. The suspense is exacting and it transforms the story
into a page-turner. Even with a difficult plot following a kidnapping, Rivas
adds a touch of quirkiness with unconventional character names that will amuse
the readers. The narrative reads like a screenplay, melding elements of science
fiction and fantasy and featuring an unpredictable plot that elevates the
delight of reading. Rivas is a brilliant writer who has also added diversity
into his characters, as Princess Ruby, the main protagonist, is a person of
color. Overall, The Daughters of Despair is truly fine entertainment, well-paced, and with characters
that are lovable.
