On a personal note, I’ve always found teenage conflict to be a touch pedant, trivial if you will. Questions arise about who she is, where her priorities lie, and most importantly for a young princess with evil twin fashionista cousins sitting in the wings, what to wear? Of course, this is where a large portion of the conflict arises. Despite being similar to its predecessor, Tokyo Dreaming allows Zoom-Zoom to grow a little into herself while surrounded by chamberlins and her family. This is the inevitable jumping-off point for the often light-hearted drama that would ensue and we’re on a sometimes trope-heavy yet enjoyable ride of chapters.īetween imperial rules and personal struggles of a young woman finding herself as everyone tells her who to be, the book discusses what attempts to change will re-form in its original mold. Continuing where we left off: The young princess is joined in Japan by her mother, as the parents rekindle their flame that sparked nearly two decades prior. Lately, I’ve been reading Tokyo Dreaming. I quite enjoyed the first book in what is officially a series with the upcoming release of Jean’s Tokyo Dreaming. The sometimes fabulous, sometimes embarrassing, and often dramatic life of Her Imperial Highness Princess Izumi Tanaka is a story that formed in Emiko Jean’s Tokyo Ever After.
