Things go from bad to worse—for her captors—when some of Princess Syalis’s schemes end in her untimely—if temporary—demise and she chooses the Forbidden Grimoire for her bedtime reading…

Review:
People and Demons are living relatively peacefully, when the Demon
King suddenly decides to kidnap the Princess and hold her for ransom.
While a hero appears and starts making his way to save the Princess,
she's sneaking around the castle in an attempt to find the best tools
to sleep soundly.
The demon castle is huge and has lots of secrets and lots of demon
servants running around. The Princess is supposed to be locked up in
the tower, and yet she keeps sneaking out and causing chaos. In
search of the perfect mattress, the perfect pillow, and the pros and
cons of these ventures. The servants, and even the Demon King
himself, marvel at all she does, with no real threat to her but
herself.
My favorite is the last chapter, when she discovers the perfect night
light outside of the castle and reminds herself that she's a
captive—only to realize that clearly she can sneak out of the
castle if she can run around it, with all the options right in front
of her. And then she strolls right back to her cell.
This is a fun little comedic series, easy to read and surprisingly
creative.
