Disclaimer: I received this book free from Netgalley
You know what I hate about this book? The fact that this is the third one in the series and I never got around to reading the first two! I saw them on Netgalley, and never picked them up and I could just kick myself. I LOVED this book!
What a joy this book was. Irreverent, silly and hilarious. I found myself literally laughing out loud. I would read lines out to my 11 year old daughter and she giggled like a fiend. We both really enjoyed it and now thanks to this book we call the box holding my cats litter box the “boom boom room”. One of the things I love about this book is that while it is so funny it is also inclusive. See comedy isn’t dead just because we expect more from comedians than the old tired way of punching down on people who are marginalized.
You won’t be sorry if you get a copy of this book, I had a ton of fun reading it. It sped by and kept my interest the entire time. Now I just need to buy the first two in the series!

Good palate cleanser after 'You'. Funny, but a little on the nose at times.
The Princess Beard was a great conclusion to the Tales of Pell series. Funny and entertaining, it once again throws fairytale and fantasy references at you left and right. It featured well written characters, but the plot was a little all over the place in the beginning. The group felt a bit disjointed until over halfway through; it was a wild ride but still an enjoyable one. I loved seeing the characters from the other books sprinkled in here and there, and everything wrapped up beautifully. Such a refreshing and funny read! A great series that I highly recommend!
I've enjoyed every book in the series, but I think this one is my favorite - although I'm struggling to come up with specific reasons why. As in the first two books, the characters each have their own challenges to overcome and need to work together toward a common goal. However, it felt like this group became closer, more tight-knit than the groups in the previous books. I know I'm not explaining it well, because I'm still trying to work it out in my mind. But if you like Monty Pythonesque humor where you have to read words out loud to fully get the humor, this series is totally up your alley and absolutely worth it.
