Dealing with Dragons (Enchanted Forest Chronicles Series #1)

Dealing with Dragons - Patricia C. Wrede I didn’t really “get” Cimorene at first. I mean, yeah, special snowflake princess, whatever. She was “special” because she wasn’t stereotypically girly like the OTHER princesses, which was disappointing. You can be girly AND be an awesome heroine and I thought that Dealing with Dragons was saying that the cliche princess is stupid because of reasons. But! That’s not what it’s saying. What makes Cimorene different from the other princesses isn’t that she wants to learn magic/fencing/other active things and not cross-stitching. She’s different because she doesn’t subscribe to the conventions of a traditional fantasy fairy tale romance!This is HILARIOUS and also amazing.Read the rest of my review at my blog!
