Hi Debbie:

Love your reviews. I wonder if you are going to review Duncan Toniatuh's "The Princess and the Warrior".
Thank you,

Martin

Martin--I haven't planned on it. Have you read it? What are your thoughts?

Someone did ask me about the princess part of it, so I asked some friends who are Latinx. The response was a good one. The word "princess" as a translation for that particular position, doesn't likely reflect what that position meant.
