The Tale of the Three Beautiful Raptor Sisters, and the Prince Who Was Made of Meat, by Brooke Bolander

The Tale of the Three Beautiful Raptor Sisters, and the Prince Who Was Made of MeatThe Tale of the Three Beautiful Raptor Sisters, and the Prince Who Was Made of Meat by Brooke Bolander

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This is a fun little story, still bloodthirsty like a lot of Bolander but the humor cuts through the gore. Our protagonist is a typically bright, vivacious princess betrothed to a dense as wood prince. They deal with raptors. Absolutely worth a read, but probably won't win (was nominated for both a Nebula and Hugo).
