Thank you NetGalley and rebellion publishing for a ARC in return for an honest review. This fun novel is a twisted fairytale with a cast of well known players. We meet many a damsel in distress who are of course rescued by the oh so wonderful Prince Charming. This charmer however instead of walking down the aisle, runs off with the kingdoms gold and treasures. This story continues to repeat itself until three jilted princesses decide enough is enough and set out to bring the not so Prince Charming to justice. This book was an easy read with a fun twist of characters and stories. It did get a tad slow but the telling of the 4th and 5th princesses story (we had well and truly got the point by the third). It also seems to leave open an end which could develop into a series set in the same world which I think could be quite fun.
