Princess Diaries

I went on a binge of reading the last five Princess Diaries books - I'd been waiting until the end of the series before I caught up. While I deplore the way that Cabot had to give J.P. a character assassination to make Forever Princess plausible, overall it was a really good effort. I particularly like the ways that as Mia and her classmates got older, they gained more perspective (both on the dumb things they did as freshmen and sophomores, and on each other as friends). The Ling Su/Perin relationship was a nice touch, too.
