Thank you NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for providing me with an ARC of This Princess Kills Monsters. I was drawn in by the pretty cover and was even more interested when I read the description. I love fairytale retellings, and would recommend this book to anyone who feels the same. I really liked how the author seamlessly blended multiple tales together. The story was silly and fun, and I like how whenever it got too silly, the characters acknowledged that what was happening was crazy. The one criticism I have is that the description mentions Melilot fighting attraction to her fiance’s sister, I would have liked to see that relationship explored more. I loved her relationship with the huntsmen though. I’m pretty sure this book is a stand-alone, but I would love to read more books about the other characters.
