Mel (Epic Reading)’s Reviews > This Princess Kills Monsters > Status Update

So this is cute… almost too cute? And just a bit too superfluous. Did I really need our MC story again in a narrative form she tells someone else? Not sure I learned much from it… and it could have been cut with her revelation written a different way.
I dunno if it was me I’d have edited this very differently for content.

There is far too many little fairy tale comments in here. I don’t need like 5 of them a chapter. And I certainly don’t need our MC thinking about all the things something ‘could be’ and listing them off (ie; poisoned apple, glass coffin, etc.). It’s just too much. Kingfisher does it better with her subtle references.
I’m still enjoying this just not as much as I could.

Feels like it’s trying too hard…

This feels a bit dumbed down so far…

I feel like I should know this fairy tale… but I can’t recall it…?
