review 1: I continue to enjoy Hines' re-imagining of various fairy tales and his continued world-building. This time, Little Red Riding Hood is the world's most feared assassin! It's also interesting how the author makes sure events in the previous books are cumulative.I did, however, think that the lesbian relationship of one of the characters was a bit much. Though I see how the character arrived at that point given her past as Hines has rewritten it.
review 2: A little less compelling than "The Mermaid's Madness," as it's a pretty straightforward "Find bad guy, destroy bad guy" plot, but there were also plenty of points worth praise. First, the plot is entirely Talia-centric, which is cool because she's the most secretive character AND probably my favorite. In this... more chapter of the princess' adventures, Talia has an open relationship (open as in not hidden, not as in polyamorous) with Faziya, her first love. Also most of the action takes place in her homeland of Arathea, which is clearly Arabia-based in language and scenery. ALSO, the word for thanks in Talia's language is something like "Khuran," which is a powerful pro-Muslim stance if ever I've heard one. And, as always, bless you Jim Hines, almost all the characters are female, down to the animals that pass by and the trolls guarding the fairy god's palace at the end. Gotta say, though, I'm worried about Snow, ever since the concussion and fracture in the last book. I don't think the last book in the series, which I'm reading now, is going to go terribly well for her. I also liked Roudette, violent as she was. She had drive, and she was an excellent adversary, and her motives were never all that unrelatable, even if she slaughtered people to express them. less
