After being let down by the third novel in a series I had so much hope for, I felt compelled to write a review for the Scrapped Princess series. 
      The novels, released by Tokyopop, have apparently received high ratings from other critics if the notes on the back cover are any indication. I noticed, however, they all failed to mention the dozen or so grammer errors found in the third volue alone. "A very engaging fantasy" (AnimeonDVD.com) it may be, but having to stumble over the four sixth grade errors in one chapter, you may find yourself slowing disengaging. 
      The story of the Scrapped Princess revolves around the three Casull children and their escape from the oppressive Mauser church. Pacifica, the youngest, was rescued as a baby after being discarded by her true parents because of an apocalyptic prophecy. The story itself is an amusing read, perhaps not at the same level as Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, but interesting nonetheless. 
      The interest is lost, however, if you, like me, expect the quality of grammer to be above that of a fanfiction. When an entire word is missing from a sentence, repeated, or replaced with a totally different word it is hard to concentrate on the story and keep the picture in your head. I almost quit this series altogether after one particularily horrendous paragraph.
      Should you read this series? Yes, but I'd strongly suggest watching the anime of the same title first just in case you cannot bear to continue reading the novels. The story is great but the words lack luster. I would complain to Tokyopop myself, but the site has been, oddly, blocked on my computer.
