I found this book really endearing and I very much enjoyed reading it. I will also say that the style in which it is written will not be for everyone and if it had not been executed as well as it is, I might not have liked the writing style.

As it is, I found the storytelling to really add to the fairy tale vibes. I loved catching the little callouts to classic tales. I found the tone just silly enough to work without being annoying.

This pulls in large elements from classic tales to craft a story about a princess who is sent off to marry a prince and fails spectacularly in the best way.
