You probably want to sit on the floor amid cushions while reading this third tale of Pell. Otherwise you may fall off your couch because you are laughing so hard. Once again Hearne and Dawson partnered to write a tale that combines wit, wordplay, and wisdom. Follow Morgan, Tempest, Al, Vic, Luc and many other “fione” characters as they adventure to they find where they belong. If you enjoy puns, poking fun at fairy tales, and not taking a story seriously, you’ll enjoy The Princess Beard. I received an eARC of this title from NetGalley in exchange for a review.

"Once upon a time a princess slept in a magical tower cloaked in thorns and roses, waiting for true love's kiss. Or so her father told her. Instead, she woke up on her own, cut off all that pesky long hair, and used it to escape. But she kept the beard, because it made a great disguise. This is not a story about finding Prince Charming-- it's a story about finding yourself. On a pirate ship. Where you belong. But these are no ordinary pirate misfits aboard The Puffy Peach, serving under Filthy Lucre, the one-eyed parrot pirate captain. First there's Vic, a swole and misogynistic centaur on a mission to expunge himself of the magic that causes him to conjure tea and dainty cupcakes when confronted. Then there's Tempest, who's determined to become the first dryad lawyer-- preferably before she takes her ultimate form as a man-eating tree. They're joined by Alobartolus, an awkward and unelfly elf who longs to meet his hero, the Sn'archivist who is said to take diction directly from the gods of Pell. Throw in some mystery meat and a dastardly capitalist plot, and you've got one Pell of an adventure on the high seas!"-- Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

As the third and final book in the Tales of Pell series, this novel offers all of the fun, satire, social commentary, and puns that lovers of the previous books will expect. With a whole new cast of characters and the fun of a pirate adventure mixed in, the novel has a vaguely episodic feel while still working to give each of our main characters a fully developed arc. Dawson and Hearne also still have plenty of fantasy tropes to poke fun at (I particularly enjoyed the riffs on Harry Potter and Star Wars and there's also a recurring gag that will get a giggle from Star Trek fans). The novel however does have a particularly lovely ending that wraps up threads for characters from this novel as well as both of the previous books and should please readers who've enjoyed the whole journey.
