Princess Floralinda and the Forty-Flight Tower by Tamsyn Muir

Go to review page

Did not finish book. Stopped at 11%.
I quite enjoyed the beginning with its fantastical tone and good girl princess, though the mention of hotels' revolving doors did throw me off, but I'm starting to learn that Tamsyn Muir is full of anachronisms from the other reviews. It being 4 AM in the morning and having read several other Tamsyn Muir short stories and discovering that she does, in fact, commit to her horror in ways I need to stop disregarding and just assuming I can read, I scrolled through the other reviews to see if I should section it up by chapter or read it all in one go. Long story short, the reviews told me I would not, in fact, like or survive the book because I'm not someone who enjoys horror
and unhappy endings
. It truly was fun while it lasted, but I'm going to spare myself the mental trauma.

I can't tell if he had feelings for her too or if she got over her own. And was her father aware something weird was going on with her, which is why he tried bridging the gap?

Also, the dead woman- iflife disperses pretty immediately after death and only her thighs have been cut up, doesn't that mean she's either useless now or will be useless if they don't eat her soon?


All in all, with all the time taken for cooking and everything, being a magician in this universe seems to be a Sisyphean task, what with all the time taken for cooking and everything.

I'm not one for horror, so it was written well, but it creeped me out.

I think the tie in to mythology is either that after an event isolated from her mother's oversight, she followed a man into Hell or that she went with a man into Hell. If it's the former, it's her father and she's following his footsteps. If it's the latter, it's Alonzo and it's their future.

I don't understand a single thing that happened and I think I'm fine with that.
