À propos de cet audio

When the witch built the 40-flight tower, she made very sure to do the whole thing properly. Each flight contains a dreadful monster, ranging from a diamond-scaled dragon to a pack of slavering goblins. Should a prince battle his way to the top, he will be rewarded with a golden sword - and the lovely Princess Floralinda.

But no prince has managed to conquer the first flight yet, let alone get to the 40th.

In fact, the supply of fresh princes seems to have quite dried up.

This is exactly the sort of irreverent fairy tale you'd expect from the author of Gideon the Ninth. I laughed myself silly!

Irreverent and hilarious!

Wonderful short story! I did feel the performance sometimes really reminded of the locked tomb characters (ie. Ianathe, corona, harrow, mercymorn, etc….) but still a great performance!

Great

-I'm glad I tried it. I liked it. No spoilers or specifics here, but the ending left very mixed feelings and while it wasn't "bad" it did not feel especially satisfying for me.

-I wish it was longer but I appreciated the way the main character developed. It felt appropriate and her arc resonated. Again, no specifics or spoilers, but although I wish it ended differently the way it ended did feel correct for how her character arc played out.

-The narration was also a mixed bag. There is a side character whose voice was annoying. But then I think that character is meant to be annoying so maybe the narrative choice was appropriate and just worked too well? It took some time and effort to get into the narration style and choices but by the end they seemed fine. Nothing special, but very serviceable.

-I went into it thinking it would be a satirical or absurdist send up of fairy tales, and it is not that. It's weird though because it starts off feeling it is going to be that, and then as it progresses there are what are obviously serious and sincere poignant character moments. I think starting lighter and getting more serious is maybe part of the point? I don't know. It has left an impression and given me pause to consider.

Fun time, certainly different.

I really enjoy this author. Her stories are whimsical but smart. Another cast of interesting characters we get watch mature and grow. Likewise the narrator does a great job differentiating the characters - although I’m pretty sure I heard Gideon the Ninth once or twice. It was all very well done.

Great book

You can just tell Tamsyn Muir was having a good time writing this one and the feeling is infectious. I've listened to this novella twice already and will probably listen to it again. I adore the evolution of Floralinda from archetype to a fully developed character, and hope Moira Quirk performs all of Muir's future work. I devoured the Locked Tomb series thus far and Floralinda is a delightful amuse bouche (how pretentious of me to say) helping me wait for the next release.

My Go-To Re-Read (or Re-Listen?)

The narrator is great, but the story builds up for a possible great ending, but the only thing I can say without a spoiler, is that it felt to me like I borrowed a book from the library and someone ripped the last pages out.

Good character progression but without an ending
