Very fun. Love a good fractured fairy tale. More depth than you might think at the beginning.

A tight story. The love between Cobweb and Floralinda surprised and delighted me. I liked that it took so long for Floralinda to realize her own strength, though she never really deeply questioned her own worth as a person, which was refreshing for a woman not to question that. I loved that she develops a kind of bloodlust and that's positive character development! I feel like the first part of the story, where she wasn't battling monsters at all and was languishing really went on too long, and I would've liked a bit more plot about what she did at the base of the tower.

Quick read, cute story. Characters are relatable in their humanness, though not always likable. I liked the occasional use of words from the Middle Ages (trice, for example), which added to the fairy tale feel. Tazmuir had a way of setting up a very specific tone and then breaking tone now and then in a humorous way that I really enjoy.
