On the cover of this book, there's a quote from the Green Man Review that is very accurate. It says that this book (or possibly the whole "Princess" series) "...brilliantly remixes fairy-tale elements with a modern action/adventure sensibility, as if the Brothers Grimm had been allowed to watch a 'Charlie's Angels' marathon." That's what you get: three powerful women trained in the marital arts and magic fighting fairies, demons, and evil in general. There's lots of sly remarks and funny asides, but basically, this is an action/adventure novel. And it's fluff. Nothing about it is great, but there's a lot of good stuff in it. I once tried to read the first novel in the series for Book Club, and put it down. It was too much fluff. I gave this third entry in the series a better effort because it was nominated for a Gaylactic Spectrum Award in 2011. I didn't love it, but I liked it.
