About this listen
If only deciding who you are was easy. For Princess Katie, making her choice is quite a challenge, made worse when her two worlds collide. If she chooses to be a princess she'll be a failure in the eyes of her father, but if she chooses to remain a spy she'll miss out on the life she was born to live. Under the guise of a princess who is there to win the heart of the prince, she is sent to spy on a neighboring country. But this mission proves different from the ones that she is used to. She's seen secret passages, and betrayal but she's usually hiding in the shadows, not having tea with the queen or bantering with the prince.
If she had spent more time as a princess maybe this quest wouldn't be so hard.
Excerpt:
I pushed myself up and nearly stopped breathing again. The man who I had just knocked to the ground was none other than Prince Jarin. Definitely not the shadow, I thought. “That’s it, you - ” the prince began as he pushed himself up and raised his fist. “Stop!” I guarded my face with both hands. “Katie?” “Ah...hello, fancy meeting you here,” I stammered.

Story
Once in a generation, the young women of the Unified Territories of Palias are given the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to become a princess. It’s an honor Kaia Luvaryan has no interest in competing for. In the aftermath of the Great War, huge swaths of what was once the United States of America are uninhabitable. Every day is a struggle to survive. But Kaia doesn’t want to leave her family or her best friend Finn behind. Life in her home territory of Hilora is hard, but at least it’s hers. Her life. Her choice. Until, suddenly, it’s not anymore.

Avery Grambs has a plan for a better future: Survive high school, win a scholarship, and get out. But her fortunes change in an instant when billionaire Tobias Hawthorne dies and leaves Avery virtually his entire fortune. The catch? Avery has no idea why - or even who Tobias Hawthorne is. To receive her inheritance, Avery must move into sprawling, secret passage-filled Hawthorne House, where every room bears the old man's touch - and his love of puzzles, riddles, and codes.

Now Adren, the last princess of the vanquished realm of Menarm, finds herself alone in a world where women live in the shadows of men.

Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

Wonderful Fairytale story
This is a wonderful clean medieval fairytale. Kings and Queens, Princes and Princesses and of course a plot to overthrow the Royals! The story is full of intrigue and suspense, surprises and romance. The characters are strong,and dedicated, fun and engaging. Other than the occasional sword and dagger fight (mild), it is a clean wholesome story. The narrator was able to keep me focused and entertained throughout. I will be checking out their next book! I received this book and this is my honest review.

Princess or Spy?
Katie is bold, brave, and the best spy in her nation. Unfortunately, she doesn’t know anything about the cultural expectations for the “proper”, demure behavior expected of a princess. When she is sent to spy on her neighboring nation, she is asked to take on the mantle of princess, pretending to court Prince Jarin. This might just be her hardest cover-story yet. The irony is that she is the daughter of a king. This is a delightful tale full of exciting twists and turns! The narrator did a lovely job!

Great story
The Royal Spy is a fun, yet intriguing story. It is well paced and the characters are interesting and easy to root for (or despise). The narrator gave a delightful performance.

Cute, clean
This was a cute story. I would maybe say it’s geared towards teens. It was clean with no swearing. Some of it was probably not historically accurate, but it was entertaining enough to keep me listening.

Princess
A charming princess tale with a cute premise. The undercover princess who is not sure how to be one.
The dialogue between her and the King is some of my favorite. My only issue was the language was a bit too modern for a fairy tale. But then again Disney does the same. Cute story. Worth the read.

Princess or Spy
This was a very enjoyable YA novel about a young princess who is also a spy. I think it is a fun playful story that is great for younger readers. With action, suspense, playfulness, and a bit of romance this story has a bit of everything. I was impressed with the writing as well as the narration. In the heart of this story we have a young girl battling with two parts of her personality and is struggling to figure out who she really is and I think that is a struggle a lot of readers will relate to. This is a fun YA book!

Great YA or middle grade book!
What a great concept for a book! With 4 daughters I thought we had read every possible princess scenario there was, but this is fresh and fun! A perfect middle grade or YA book... though I am far older than that and enjoyed it!
I am always on the lookout for strong female role models for my girls who love to read. The problem with a lot of those books is they portray men anywhere from oblivious to bumbling idiots... this book did a good job of having strong male and female characters. I really liked the storyline and the moral lessons.

Princess In Disguise
This is a story about a young princess who is struggling with the reality of being the daughter of a King, and the job she was raised to be. There is humor adventure and it is a good story for both teen and young adult , even adult. as the story is clean and filled with a journey you will not want to miss! Jami Jones did a good job with narrating this story,
