4.0 out of 5 stars I wish I could give 3.75 stars

This was a very short story, making for a nice quick read. I think the premise was fun but feel there was too much lacking. I wish more of the cliches were explained so I could have caught more of the fun, providing a list after the story ended would work. I did read the book after a very long week so may just have been too tired to put the required amount of thinking in to figuring it out, I’ll have to try again another time when I’m not as brain dead. I was happy to find the language in the book to be clean, which the title does not lead one to believe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sheer comedic brilliance!

Another hilarious book by an author who writes intelligent humor that leaves me laughing out loud at lunch with co-workers looking at me.

The curse of clichés was brilliant, and more than half the fun for the reader was trying to (successfully for me) identify which cliché was which. Reading the King trying to interpret the behavior was a gut grabber.

Sheer comedic brilliance that would have done Monty Python proud. I recommend this to every single person the planet!

My Rating: 5++ stars

Short cautionary fable about an evil queen overreaching her presumptive power. The good Prince makes quick work of putting all aright and her in her place. Full of humor - see if you catch all the alluded to word play!

What a Hoot! The idea is wonderful. The execution is great! I wish the author had included a list of the cliches in the book, but the list is available from her website. This book was so original that I will be sending copies to all of my RenFest and D&D friends.
I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to share my honest review.
