Unhinged and hilarious. Though at times repetitive, I loved this book! Think, princess diaries with a cursed immortal warrior, an elf, a werewolf, a vampire, a magician, a pirate (?) and a sheltered monk who was just put in charge of all of them. They are tasked with delivering a newly minted (thief turned) princess to her throne while being pursued by her cousins who want her dead. Adventure ensues! Bloody, gory, fast paced but hilariously heartfelt. Will have you laughing in tears!
