Princess Floralida and the Forty-Flight Tower

4/5. An absolutely delightful novella about a princess who gets locked at the top of a tower full of monsters, and what she does when all the princes who try to rescue her get eaten. I specifically recommend the audio, which is read by one of my favorite narrators of all time, Moira Quirk. (I have literally read books just because she narrates them). Anyway, this is a messy but satisfying story of becoming, and the unbearable ordeal of being friends with someone. Not so much a fractured fairy tale as a splattered fairy tale.

Link is to the fancy Sub Press hardcover, but it's also cheap on Kindle.

Content notes: Gore.
