This Princess Kills Monsters
by Ry Herman
That was a phenomenally good time!
This is what I mean when I say I enjoy cozy fantasy. The stakes were medium, the humor was endless, and the fairy tale vibes were perfection. I’d give it a million stars if I could.
While This Princess Kills Monsters is a retelling of the Grimm Brothers’ The Twelve Huntsmen, it’s also full of so many other fairy tale references. It’s wildly unserious (and I mean that as the highest praise) and laugh out loud funny.
I finished this book with sore cheeks from all the smiling and laughing it provoked.
I desperately need an artist to create the hair filling the tower scene! STAT!
What I loved…
- every single character, even the villains were totally fun to read
- speaking of characters they were relatable and flawed
- dragons, and various other totally crazy magical creatures
- feminist af
- perfectly queer (princesses get to marry princesses, a transgender love interest, and tons of queer joy and acceptance - I want to live inside this book!)
- family forward story that will have you calling your sister to tell her how much you love her!
- honestly if I wrote everything I loved about this book in list format the list would be about a 100 pages long - and I really think some of this is better experienced with no prior knowledge.
I really just need you to go read this book now, it’s phenomenal and fun and you won’t regret it!
