Kurzbeschreibung
Wars may end. But vengeance is forever.
Roudette's story was a simple one. A red cape. A wolf. A hunter. Her mother told her she would be safe, so long as she kept to the path. But sometimes the path leads to dark places. Roudette is the hunter now, an assassin known throughout the world as the Lady of the Red Hood. Her mission will take her to the country of Arathea and an ancient fairy threat. At the heart of the conflict between humans and fairies stands the woman Roudette has been hired to kill, the only human ever to have fought the Lady of the Red Hood and survived-the princess known as Sleeping Beauty.

Format:Taschenbuch
This series keeps getting better and better. After telling us Cinderella's story in 'The Stepsister Scheme' and the Little Mermaid's story in 'The Mermaid's Madness' Jim this time takes us deeper into the fairy realm and introduces us to a grown-up version of Red Riding Hood. Jim's stories have little to do with Disney's fairy tales. As a matter of fact he did a marvelous job in unearthing the (often gruesome) old fairy stories and begun to weave his own tales about the abused heroines.
I have to admit that my favorite person in this series is Talia (Sleeping Beauty). And this time we learn more about her background and the hard reality of her past.
'Red Hood's Revenge' is an amazing story and I look forward to the next (and last) book in the Princess' Series 'Snow Queen', release date July 2011.

Truly unique and completely enjoyable
8. Juli 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
Roudette may be known as "Little Red Riding Hood," but her innocence was taken when she saw her grandmother brutally murdered by the Hunt. Now, Roudette is a deadly assassin. Her latest mission lands her in the presence of three legendary princesses - Danielle, Talia, and Snow (also known as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White respectively). The princesses go in search of the person who sent Roudette. But their journey leads them to Arathea, Talia's former home - where she's still wanted for murdering the prince who woke her.
The princesses have all gone through various changes in the past couple books. Danielle is now a mother. Snow was in a serious accident where her head was damaged, which has been affecting her magical abilities. And Snow now knows of Talia's unrequited feelings for her, which brings awkwardness to their friendship. Despite their shortcomings, the ladies continue to kick butt and hold their own against the deadliest of enemies.
More dramatic than previous installments, this latest story revolves mainly around Talia and Roudette, bringing to light more of their dark and horrible pasts. But that doesn't mean the adventure is lacking. There's plenty of the suspense and action that make this fantasy series great. Hines' princess heroines from fairy tale lore are truly unique and completely enjoyable from start to finish. I can't wait to see what comes next from this highly talented fantasy author. His Goblin series remains one of my favorites to this day.

Quick, but good
12. Juli 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
A quick read, but worth buying. I enjoyed the ongoing tension between Snow and Talia. Roudette is a fascinating character because, in many ways, she is what Talia could have become had she not had the network she found after waking up.
I am continuing to enjoy Danielle's arc. She has grown up so much over the books. In this volume we see how she integrates the person she's become with her marriage and motherhood. I like that, unlike in some novels, there isn't a switch between being awesome and being a wife/mother. Instead the two support one another, making her a well-rounded and great character.
I was uncertain about this series after reading the first book, but the story just keeps getting better.

This series just grows stronger
21. Oktober 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
[Full disclosure: I personally know Jim C. Hines and have worked with him in the past.]
Red Hood's Revenge is the third in Jim Hines' "Princess Novels". I used to describe this series as "Charlie's Angels meets Disney Princesses, but with plot." I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do that anymore - simply because this series has grown strong enough that such comparisons don't do justice to Jim's books.
Sure, the three main characters - Danielle, Talia, and Snow - are based on Cinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty. But they - just as with Roudette (Red Riding Hood) - are not the saccharine helpless maids marketed by the mouse. They are fully realized characters set in a rich world of thier own. Red Hood's Revenge is inspired by these fables the same way that O Brother Where Art Thou is inspired by the Odyessy. Familiar elements (a red cloak, a spell of sleeping) show up, but in a fully imagined original world.
I cannot recommend Jim's books strongly enough. They are a great blend of epic fantasy elements with fully realized characters and setting, while dodging the problems (and weight) of a typical fantasy epic.
One small note: Issues of sexuality and romance are addressed in this book. The action takes place "offscreen", so to speak. If it were a movie, I'd rate it PG, and I'm comfortable with my 12-year-old reading it.
