Wonderfully different, creepy, mysterious, and vivid. Like I should have expected anything else from Cherie Priest! I didn't know much about the story, and so I was very surprised by the twists and turns that it took. Really enjoyed it, couldn't put it down!
But I can't bring myself to give it five stars because . . . There's a part at the end, where everything is so tense, and then four people who should totally know better do the most confusingly daft thing I've ever heard of. I mean, it makes ...more

Holy crap. This book was SO GOOD. I'd wanted to read this as soon as I heard about it. Cherie Priest is an author I know I'd love if I ever just get started on a book, and I actually own several of hers. But for some reason, never actually picked any of them up.
So, I Am Princess X was my first Cherie Priest.
And guys? It ROCKED. I'm still flailing a bit in my head over how awesome this book was.
I loved the way the story was told partly through graphic novel format. I loved the mystery aspect, of ...more
