Independent-minded Princess Quinn leaves her underground kingdom to explore Outer Earth (a.k.a. the modern world) in the expanded edition of Princess Nevermore. Her childhood friend Cam quests to discover his (providently noble) heritage in the sequel, a more standard medieval romantic fantasy. Though the formalized presentation of emotion can be distancing, the juxtaposition of worlds is consistently engaging. Review covers these titles: Cam's Quest and Princess Nevermore.
