Fun sword and sorcery-type stuff. I especially enjoyed the fact that the princess wasn't magically able to weild a sword and ride into battle with no training, and yet managed to prove herself clever and gutsy anyway.

I wasn't sure what to think at the beginning of this story, but I was quickly drawn in. The story raises feminist issues without being preachy, and as a twin, I rarely find a story about my birth order that satisfies so much. Excellent work.
