This is my favorite in the series so far! Absolutely hilarious. I loved the details in the illustrations and the fun twists and turns it took.
The Princess in Black and the Goat Avenger encounter a stink that they cannot fight alone. Luckily, many new heroes rise to the occasion (as well as a familiar face, the Princess in Blankets) to help fight the unique battle.
As with the other books, the chapters are short and the text is simple. I liked that the structure follows a similar pattern as the reader peeks in on what each princess is doing when they encounter the stink. But there are also some fun breaks from the repetition. The book sets up a nice pattern and then breaks out of it, which is both humorous and engaging.
The illustrations are also fun and I especially enjoyed how the stink manifested on the page, seeping into the pictures and even affecting the characteristic magnolia on the first page of every chapter. This was a very funny touch that made reading even more engaging.
A hilarious book that is gross, action-packed, and full of new characters. I love that we now have a full cast of heroes and I'm excited to see what future adventures lie in store for them.
