Fun Christmas tale May 19, 2009
By Alice Berger "Bergers Book Reviews"
Far north, in the magical realm of Santopia, the current Santa has a new son. The Wizard issues a prophesy for this new heir to the kingdom, which says baby Nicky will marry the first girl born after him.

But over in the kingdom of Drear, the Countess is nearly about to give birth. After hearing the prophesy, she induces labor and is pleased when her daughter, Dazzle is born. That is, until she learns another couple has also given birth to a daughter, who may have been born before Dazzle.

Upsetting the Countess of Drear is never a good idea, so this poor couple needs to do something quickly before they and their new daughter lose their lives. Escape is dangerous and nearly impossible, and intrigue and treachery abound.

This story is set at Christmas, and is full of colorful holiday imagery. Many of the Santa traditions are included, making the story feel real. But one thing I found a little confusing was the different races at Santopia that all ended in "elves" - Gelves, Trelves, etc.

I enjoyed this story, and found myself cheering for the young couple to save themselves and their daughter. But I have to admit I was a little disappointed in the ending, which left the story at an obvious cliff-hanger. If you love Santa and Christmas, I think you'll enjoy this fast-paced and fun tale.

A fine tale for Santa lovers, enjoyable year-round May 08, 2009
By Midwest Book Review
The things people will do for power. "Santopia: Santa and the Lost Princess" is the story of the realm of Santa Claus, Santopia. Santa's son is born, and prophecy states the next girl born in the land after him will inevitably be his queen. A Baroness's daughter is born soon after, but when she finds that a peasant girl beat her daughter into the world, she pursues the possible baby queen in rage. A charming fantasy story using one of America's most cherished fictional figures, "Santopia" is a fine tale for Santa lovers, enjoyable year-round.
