My first K.M. Shea experience will not be my last. This is a unique twist with a bit of violence, in an entertaining manner, if that makes any sense. I smiled so much and think Lis's kick-butt-take-names attitude was refreshing and funny. I very much enjoyed her comradery with Vorah. The ending was rather abrupt but it was a fun, quick read.

This was one of her shorter books but I definitely enjoyed it. Hopefully we will see more of The Torrens royal family, Lis, and Vorah in the future!

I thought this was a really cute and different re-telling of The Princess and the Pea.
All I really remember from the original was the real princess was able to feel the pea. This story takes a much more action-packed approach.
Lis the main protagonist is a butt-kicking, sword wielding mercenary sent to guard the magical Pea. Prince Channing (who I called Prince Charming throughout the entire novella), and his family task Lis and her friend to guard this gem at all lengths.
Prince Channing was charming, quirky, shy and weird. I really enjoyed his complex character. Because this is a novella their love story does develop rather quickly for my liking. But I like that the author has had Channing see Lis in action and following her for years in the shadows.
I would definitely want to read more within this series.

Ok, this one was pretty cute. I found myself smiling through the whole thing, and I loved the scooby doo reveal at the end. xD And Channing was adorable.
This one felt a little shorter than the others, and it did take me a bit to find a copy. The love story felt a little too rushed, and some of the changes to the original fairy tale felt a little odd as well. I still liked it, but it wasn't my favorite.
not bad but lacking flavor. i think the ideal audience is probably a white lady who loves fantasy but mostly just reads mercedes lackey and anne mccaffrey, with maybe a little robin hobb when she's feeling spicy
