The Princess Beard

The Tales of Pell, Book 3

De: Kevin Hearne, Delilah S. Dawson

Narrado por: Luke Daniels

This princess can shave herself! The hilarious best-selling authors of Kill the Farm Boy and No Country for Old Gnomes are back with a new adventure in the irreverent world of Pell.

Once upon a time, a princess slept in a magical tower cloaked in thorns and roses.

When she woke, she found no Prince Charming, only a surfeit of hair and grotesquely long fingernails - which was, honestly, better than some creep who acted without consent. She cut off her long braids and used them to escape. But she kept the beard because it made a great disguise.

This is not a story about finding true love’s kiss - it's a story about finding yourself. On a pirate ship. Where you belong.

But these are no ordinary pirates aboard The Puffy Peach, serving under Filthy Lucre, the one-eyed parrot pirate captain. First there’s Vic, a swole and misogynistic centaur on a mission to expunge himself of the magic that causes him to conjure tea and dainty cupcakes in response to stress. Then there’s Tempest, who’s determined to become the first dryad lawyer - preferably before she takes her ultimate form as a man-eating tree. They’re joined by Alobartalus, an awkward and unelfly elf who longs to meet his hero, the Sn’archivist who is said to take dictation directly from the gods of Pell. Throw in some mystery meat and a dastardly capitalist plot, and you’ve got one Pell of an adventure on the high seas!

In this new escapade set in the magical land of Pell, Delilah S. Dawson and Kevin Hearne lovingly skewer the tropes of fairy tales and create a new kind of fantasy: generous, gently humorous, and inclusive. There might also be otters.

ok ridiculously funny

well if you like the first two this one won't disappoint i like the fact that they could all just be stand alone books it make more sence if you do read all of them so far thanks kevin , Delilah and luke it was an awsome listen

End of the trilogy had left allot of loose ends.

I really did like this trilogy however there are a lot of loose ends but I would love to see finished. like whatever happened to the gnomes? Isn't there one good human in pell? Did the Snarkivist ever get relieved of his laborious duties in life? whatever happened to the arch of Rita's father? will Toby and ultra ever be revitalized by The Dread necromancer Steve's death honey?

hilarious

Loved it so much. i laughed the whole time I listened. made weekend Overtime better.

Love this trilogy!

Delilah & Kevin kept up with the multi-entendres and punny names, as well as a great storyline that tied everything together beautifully by the end. And, as always, Luke Daniels did a fantastic job narrating and somehow managing to keep all the voices and accents straight throughout the series. And his interpretations were spot-on! Obviously the authors & narrator work well together 🤓.
Thank you for a great & entertaining story with so much meaning. 💙💙

Buy this book

If you love humor, puns, parrots and Luke Daniels voice, this book is for you. If you are tired of the same old plots, this book is really for you. If your tired of the toxic world in which we live and want an escape, just buy the book. Now.

Awesome

I read the first two and they were pretty good, but this book here was bay FAR the best one. All I’m gonna say is Vick is the man. Got to listen to this book or go read it.

Still my favorite book series ever

Kevin plus Delilah plus Luke equals magnificence! They bring puns and parrots to a new level.

What the Pell!

This series is a ton of fun. Very creative, sad my trip to the land of Pell is over.

Another fun romp

I really enjoyed all three of "The Tales of Pell" books. The puns are funny and I enjoy the cultural references. I think Luke Daniels does and excellent job narrating. the only thing I felt was kind of annoying in the performance was the parrot drawing out all of the R's. it feels like it really lengthened the book. overall it was a fun conclusion to the series.

A Fun Tale!

Another entertaining tale by this fantastic duo of authors! I hope that there may be more from them even if the series seems to have come full circle! The narrator as always has done a fabulous job as well!❤️
