À propos de cette écoute
When the witch built the 40-flight tower, she made very sure to do the whole thing properly. Each flight contains a dreadful monster, ranging from a diamond-scaled dragon to a pack of slavering goblins. Should a prince battle his way to the top, he will be rewarded with a golden sword - and the lovely Princess Floralinda.
But no prince has managed to conquer the first flight yet, let alone get to the 40th.
In fact, the supply of fresh princes seems to have quite dried up.

refreshing
An interesting take on the princess in need of rescue. very funny at times and I loved the deadpan delivery of the reader. Unexpected end. A good satisfying read!

Not your typical Princess in a tower story
"Princess Floralinda and the Forty-Flight Tower" is the princess-in-a-tower fairytale retelling I didn't know I needed. At the beginning of the story, Princess Floralinda is trapped in a tower, waiting to be rescued by a prince. Each flight of the tower comes with its own monster and after a succession of failed attempts at rescuing her, resulting in many princely deaths, Princess Floralinda realises she might have to take matters into her own hands if she ever wants to get the f*ck out. The narrative voice is subtly interjected with biting humour and I had a jolly good time listening to the audiobook, brilliantly read by Moira Quirk.
I loved the premise of this novella. While the idea of a princess rescuing herself isn't exactly new, the execution in this one felt refreshingly fun. Princess Floralinda sheds her pretty exterior to a grimier one, allies herself with a fairy who seems to hate her guts and reminds her so every day, and battles her way down through a plethora of mythical creatures. Perhaps a little too many, as the story feels repetitive often, especially because there is little difference in the way the monsters are defeated from flight to flight.
It made me think of that time-consuming part in a video game, when you reach a certain checkpoint after having reunited items and weapons, only to fail trying to defeat the villain and having to do it all... all over again. And again. And again... until you level up. Princess Floralinda is strong-willed though, and will keep on pushing herself until she gets to the bottom of the tower. You know that line from that song with The Rock that goes "it’s about drive, it’s about power / we stay hungry, we devour..." etc? That's Princess Floralinda in a nutshell for you.
