The Princess Beard by Kevin Hearne, Delilah S. Dawson

2.25

This was definitely my least favorite of the three. I really liked aspects of it, but much of it felt very forced in a different way. The beginning, especially, just tried way too hard to be crass. I almost stopped reading it. But I was curious where some of the characters were going to go. Also, for the first time, I didn't really like the narration, mainly because of the parrot character. It was a very good parrot voice, but it was excruciating to listen to, particularly when he had any lengthy dialogue. Overall, I just didn't connect with the story or the characters and it felt a bit stale.
