The princess had to die. It was either her or the rest of the kingdom.That's great, but why? This book had two major problems: it was a rambling mess, and it had huge, gaping plot holes. Half the times I wasn't sure what's going on, and the other half of the time, and for the majority of the book, I was asking myself: Why the fuck did Kyra have to kill the princess?
The pig.I know the book is supposed to be funny and cute. It wasn't such to me; it was forced. Even the cutesy scenes didn't ring true. The main love interest talking down his fierce pet wolf to get wolfie and piggie to be fwiends? No, thank you.
It was the most ridiculous thing in the entire world: Kyra, would-be assassin and master potioner, had resorted to hunting down her prey—her best friend the princess—with a piglet.
But she had no choice. The princess had to die.
“See, Rosie? Langley’s a nice dog. He just wants to be friends. I know he’s big and looks scary, but he’s just a puppy at heart. And, Langley, you’re going to have to be gentle with Rosie, okay?”Now, the reason why the princess had to die was just stupid. I had endure 3/4th of the book with Kyra going WAAAAAAAAH I HAVE TO KILL THE PRINCESS. I HAVE TO KILL MY BEST BEST FRIEND while wondering "Why the fuck you gotta kill your best friend, gurl?" It was frustrating, to say the least. And when the time came for the explanation of WHY SHE GOTTA KILL THE PRINCESS, the explanation made zero sense to me.
And then, a few weeks later, Kyra was brought to her knees by the second vision she’d ever had in her life.A vision. A bloody vision. How many visions has she ever had in her life? Two. This being the second of them. And OF COURSE THIS VISION CAN BE TRUSTED, RIGHT? What the eff, man?! There's no convincing evidence whatsoever that the princess has to die.
