Summary: Excellent Trilogy, would love more...
Review: This is the third book in the Princess trilogy. I raced through the book in two days. Princess Sultana's Circle goes more into situations, which Sultana tries to fix such as freeing a harem of women or saving her niece from a forced marriage to a disgusting older man. Princess Sultana finally emerges victorious in her struggle to help out somebody. In this book they also go over the holy month of Ramadan, camping in the desert, and shopping in New York.
The author does such a great job of making everything in this book so real and colorful that you feel like you are there. I would recommend any of the Princess books. I would suggest that it is always fun to start reading from the beginning of the trilogy because you get a good feel for all the characters. Great book!

Summary: Single in Saudi by Genia
Review: Princess Sultana's Circle is the third book of Jean Sasson's biographical accounts of a Saudi Royal's life. To be honest, Princess and Princess Sultana's Daughters were better books. However, if you enjoyed those, you will enjoy this one too. There is far less of a focus on women's rights in this book, and it reads like a series of anecdotes from Sultana's life. However, the extravagant lifestyle and the restrictive (by Western standards) customs of the Saudi Arabian elite make for interesting reading. In this book, Princess Sultana learns a bit more about herself, as she visits Bedouin tent villages, attends her niece's wedding to a much older man, and battles with alcoholism. The title refers to a protective circle of women, which Sultana asks us to form whenever we see women in trouble.

Summary: The beginning of a wonderful genre
Review: I finished this book and was left feeling cold and hostile. Opposite of my reaction to the prior two Sultana books...Not to say that I do not pity these women. Of course I do, and Jean Sasson weaves Sultana's tales together with technical skill and high-pitched emotional cries for help...I found Princess Sultana's Circle to be an evocative book filled with the passions and whims of a child-like woman. Her sincerity and love for her God, King and Country (in that order) are obvious and the world would be lucky to have women like her in countries that allow women to speak freely...
