Aaaaand... this is why I frequently persuade myself to give books for which the jacket copy doesn't necessarily sound appealing a try. Fairytale subversion? Ugh. Written by the author of a book which I absolutely hated (and for which I still wish I could get that part of my life back)? Double-Ugh.
But this is a thoroughly-satisfying story in which a clueless and helpless princess lucks into a stroppy fairy companion and eventually develops into a sassy ex-princess. I really appreciated this story's complete lack of saccharinity. Not recommended for those with an aversion to blood and gore, but absolutely recommended for those who are just so completely done with having to perform what's expected of them.
