I read Princess as a story with two main parallel tracks. One a mystery about the collision of an iron age civilization and a science fiction / high tech unknown enemy. The other main track was the country girl goes to the big city and gets caught in a love pentagon. It would never have occurred to me to combine the two, but you did it well and both stories were better because of the depth they added to each other.
