This was funny, delightful and full of puns! I really enjoyed it. It also had heartwarming friendships and character evolutions.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with this book in exchange for my honest opinion. This will be available in stores on October 8th.

I loved both Kill the Farm Boy and No Country for Old Gnomes (Pell #1 and #2), but this one failed to drum up much enthusiasm for me. That’s not to say I hated it. I just felt very apathetic about it in general. It wasn’t bad, it just…wasn’t.

The Pell books thus far have been highly ridiculous and incredibly punny, which is the kind of humor I appreciate. The Princess Beard kept the jokes coming, but I think that there were so many squeezed in that I didn’t get a chance to appreciate them all. At times, it seemed like the authors were just trying to hard.

It’s unfortunate because the first two books are so stinking funny that I was hoping for a home run on the entire series. However, don’t count these books out. The first two are absolutely worth reading and, even being just so-so for me, the third book is still better than many other satirical fantasies out there. It just wasn’t my thing.

Have you read this? Thoughts?

In my opinion, this is the weakest of the Pell books and doesn't have many tie-ins with the original two books. The first half was somewhat slow and the characters didn't grow on me in the same way the first two casts did, but I thoroughly enjoyed the second half. It is a fun read!
