Indebted: The Berkshire Dragon
I love me some dusty-rose high fantasy. And was that the bet pullquote they could find?
Two comments:
1) I am so sick of reviews talking about how revolutionary a story is because it features a princess whose “life is not a fairytale” and who trains in sword fighting and actively fights the villains rather than being a damsel in distress waiting to be rescued. What, have you people all been in comas since Star Wars came out? Please see the TV Tropes Rebellious Princess page in order to get an idea of just how not unique this character is.
2) Did the author really put a place called “Green Ham” front and center on the map on the cover? And this isn’t supposed to be a parody?
At least the Green Eggs aren’t also visible.
I definitely want to go live in Green Ham. Why was that the FIRST thing I saw on this cover?
If it were not for the space between the words, a British pronunciation might have been appropriate.
Not “Green Ham,” but “Greenam.
Not “Liecester”, but “Lester.”
I desperately want the ‘Berkshire Dragon’ to be an elderly Home Counties woman who runs the local WI with an iron fist!
Is that Arya Stark?
