Review
Charles Stross never fails to impress. Here he takes the standard fantasy trope - a girl is actually a long-lost princess in an alternate universe - and twists it around, deconstructs it, and approaches it from a more realistic and/or socioeconomic standpoint. Good stuff, and definitely exciting since there are 6-7 books in the series.
