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

3.0

If you like extended scenes riffing on other media (in this case we visit Bogtorts and witness a character reject being sorted, by the Sifting Scarf, into houses Wormidor, Roachcraw, Slithertick, and Mosquitopuff) or just random chunks of dialogue from other media (I caught Star Wars and The Princess Bride but who knows what else there is that I missed) inserted into the story for no apparent reason then perhaps this is the story for you! The other half of the story is jokes along the lines of having to sail through the "Myn Seas" (say it out loud) where there are great sea serpents that can only be defeated with "tampoons" fired out of canons called "Aunt Flo". So if that sounds fun to you I wish you all the best. It wasn't for me.
