I actually own a hardcover of Princess Academy. I bought this because, I couldn't find a soft copy of this and that I heard a lot of 'good things'. But I was ultimately disappointed. Right after the moment I finished reading the book, I regretted I bought this. Seriously. And honestly, when I said finished, I didn't mean I actually read ALL of its pages. I ditched this around a couple more pages before I could ACTUALLY finish up to the last page. That was how disappointed I was.
