This Princess Kills Monsters
This Princess Kills Monsters: The Misadventures of a Fairy-Tale Stepsister | Ry Herman
4 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
A princess with a mostly useless magical talent takes on horrible monsters, a dozen identical masked heroes, and a talking lion in a quest to save a kingdomand herselfin this affectionate satire of the Grimm Brothers fairy tale The Twelve Huntsmen. Someone wants to murder Princess Melilot. This is sadly normal. Melilot is sick of being ordered to go on dangerous quests by her domineering stepmother. Especially since she always winds up needing to be rescued by her more magically talented stepsisters. And now, she's been commanded to marry a king shes never met. When hideous spider-wolves attack her on the journey to meet her husband-to-be, she is once again rescuedbut this time, by twelve eerily similar-looking masked huntsmen. Soon, she has to contend with near-constant attempts on her life, a talking lion that sets bewildering gender tests, and a king who can't recognize his true love when she puts on a pair of trousers. And all the while, she has to fight her growing attraction to not only one of the huntsmen, but also her fiancs extremely attractive sister. If Melilot can't unravel the mysteries and rescue herself from peril, kingdoms will fall. Worse, she could end up married to someone she doesnt love.

This mashup of Grimm‘s fairytales from once upon a time when the world was younger and magic abundant is a hoot and half. I took breaks between chapters to better appreciate the pace of the witty writing. In a month I‘ll forget the specific hijinks, but will remember comedic writing style.

I was drawn in by this book‘s vibrant cover, and the story within its pages is just as colorful. Filled to the brim with whimsy, adventure, and fairytale references, it‘s a charming romp! 🎧
