This Princess Kills Monsters by Ry Herman

5.0

This Princess Kills Monsters by Ry Herman is such a unique story! I loved seeing fairytales get revitalized in such a creative way. This is the story of Princess Melilot, who would normally be an unnamed side character in a fairytale, but is given her voice today. 

I loved the characters and how they played into the story (obviously, there is an ancient talking lion who is overly misogynistic like any good fairytale). There is also tons of queer representation that integrates seamlessly with the original fairytales. 

If you liked Once Upon a Broken Heart or Assistant to the Villian, you'll like this book! It has the quirky acceptance of fairytale truths and a good sense of humor. 5/5 would recommend!
