A review by fairybadattitude
The Princess Beard by Kevin Hearne, Delilah S. Dawson

I really wanted to love these books. I really, really did. And I understand they're parody and poking fun at the tropes of fairy tales. But there are so. Many. Puns. Just when I'd start to get into the story, I'd get tripped up by another pun. (Myn Seas? Really? REALLY?) It would take me out of the moment and made it hard to stay interested in the story itself, which made it take longer to actually read the book. I even started looking for puns where there weren't any!
These are fun books, and if you REALLY love puns, you will probably enjoy them. But, for me, it was just too much.
