Adrienne is smart the first few pages show a younger Adrienne tearing apart the plot holes in a traditional fairy tale. She decides that she’s going to be her own knight and so, with the aid of her dragon pal Sparky, rescues herself and embarks on a quest to free her sisters from their own towers.Ī blurb on the front of this book calls it “the story Disney should’ve been telling for the past twenty years.” It’s entirely true. Between the boredom of waiting and the dim-witted knights who show up to rescue her, she tires of this quickly. In Volume 1, when Princess Adrienne comes of age, she’s locked in a dragon-guarded tower because that’s A Thing That Happens to Princesses. The cover alone promised all kick-butt girls, dragons, and adventure galore.
Goodwin at a local comic convention and didn’t have to think twice before picking it up. Let's eat, Grandpa! Let's eat Grandpa! (Punctuation saves lives.I came across Princeless by Jeremy Whitley and M.My Year of Reading Russian Literature (1).My Year of Reading Japanese Literature (2).My Year of Reading French Literature (Second Edition) (1).My Year Of Reading French Literature (12).Have you read ‘ Princeless‘? What do you think about it? It is contemporary, modern, empowering and stylish. If you are tired of traditional fairytales in which the princess is saved by the prince, and have wanted to read a new type of fairytale, in which the princess take charge and does her own thing, this is that book. It takes the traditional fairytale, turns it upside down, and creates something new and beautiful and charming. What follows is a cool, stylish, rip-roaring adventure, the likes of which we have never seen. And then instead of sitting in the tower waiting for a prince charming, she and the dragon decide to do something. By that time, she and the dragon are friends. Then one day, she finds something interesting under her bed. The princess is frustrated with this clichéd fairytale life. When a prince comes in search of her, the dragon eats him. But, unfortunately, when she turns sixteen, the exact same fate befalls her – her parents put her in a tower and put a dragon outside to guard her. Adrienne, contrary to the popular image of a princess, is dark haired and dark skinned.
She calls it hogwash and finds a lot of plot holes in it. In the next scene, we discover that the princess of our story, Adrienne, is reading this popular fairytale. The prince and the princess get married and live happily ever after.
One day a brave prince arrives, fights with the dragon and kills it, and saves the princess. A princess with golden hair is imprisoned in a tower, which is guarded by a dragon. The first scene in the story depicts a fairytale, like Rapunzel. I discovered ‘ Princeless‘ through my friend Bina from WOC Reads, who has been recommending it for years.
