So delightful! A really funny sendup of princess tropes that also has a lot of heart. I especially love moments like when a suitor calls up to Princess Adrienne in her tower, "Fair Princess!" She points out that "fair" means "white," which she isn't, and maybe he should read a book before attempting to rescue any more princesses. The scene where she attempts to buy some armor for herself cracked me up too--she's presented with Red Sonya, Wonder Woman, and Xena options and rejects all of them for being impractically revealing.

It's a great readalike for [b:Rapunzel's Revenge|2626492|Rapunzel's Revenge (Rapunzel's Revenge, #1)|Shannon Hale|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1421704442s/2626492.jpg|2651193], and also just a really fun story for all the young princes and princesses out there! Some humor might fly over the heads of younger readers, but there's nothing really inappropriate, content-wise. (At least, nothing that's not in regular fairytales--there are references to some princes getting eaten by dragons.)
