The Princess and the Pea by K.M. Shea

4.0

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.
