Great ending to "The Princess and the Pea" fairy tale.  I especially liked all the scheming that was revealed at the end.

Response from mreid (Author of Fortress of Forty Winks)

Thank you.  I'm happy you enjoyed reading it.

Oooh, you've piqued my curiosity. I wonder what will happen to her next?

Response from mreid (Author of Fortress of Forty Winks)

The whole story is up now, so you can find out.  Thank you for the read & review.

Very well done, and quite descriptive. Wordy, but not cumbersome. A very pleasant read with a nice character that already makes me interested in her story.



Author's Response: Thank you for reading. I was worried that the humorous fairy tale voice would quickly turn cumbersome. I'm glad it worked.

The second chapter should be up shortly. There are two more to be queued after that.

EdgeOfDark's response: Nice!

*Eagerly waits for fresh matierial*

haha, it's a fairy-tale! =)

Response from mreid (Author of Fortress of Forty Winks)

Exactly.  Based on--and a rather fractured--The Princess and the Pea.  Thank you for commenting.
