Princess Floralinda and the Forty-Flight Tower by Tamsyn Muir
5.0
A brilliant short novella about Princess Floralinda and her struggle once a witch steals her away to a tower with forty flights of monsters. The witch wants Floralinda to be rescued by a prince, but when twenty-four of them come and fail at the first floor where they're eaten by a diamond-encrusted dragon, Floralinda has no choice but to make her way down. With the aid of a helpful but surly fairy, she soon has success and slowly makes her way down.
This is full of the author's trademark irreverent humor that's on display in her Locked Tomb books. Floralinda is a very ordinary princess at the start of her ordeal, but with a clever choice and a brilliant partnership she grows into her mission, leading to a fantastic punchline for the whole story.
Recommended.
