Rory Thorne is a princess with 13 fairy blessings, the most important of which is to see through flattery and platitudes. As the eldest daughter, she always imagined she'd inherit her father's throne and govern the interplanetary Thorne Consortium.

Then, her father is assassinated, her mother gives birth to a son, and Rory is betrothed to the prince of a distant world.

When Rory arrives in her new home, she uncovers a treacherous plot to unseat her newly betrothed and usurp his throne. An unscrupulous minister has conspired to name himself Regent to the minor (and somewhat foolish) prince. With only her wits and a small team of allies, Rory must outmaneuver the Regent and rescue the prince.

How Rory Thorne Destroyed the Multiverse is a feminist reimagining of familiar fairy tale tropes and a story of resistance and self-determination - how small acts of rebellion can lead a princess to not just save herself, but change the course of history.

A truly enjoyable twist of a familiar story in a science fiction world. The author has a great wit and style that asks the listener or reader to keep up without talking down to them.

The world building is fresh and inviting without bring overwhelming or contrived. Suitable for all ages.

A wonderful blend of science and fantasy fiction

I've never read a book with a 'world' quite like this. I really liked how it all played out in the end, and would recommend it.

Great read

Not your normal space princess tale. Rory is the first born female heir to the Thorn Consortium in 200 years. Her story involves faerie gifts, dubious regents, diplomacy, arithmancy (computer magic?), adventures, hostages and a royal bid for her life.

Space, Faeries, Magic,& princess references abound

The narration went into to long and detailed information that took away from the actual story. It could have been a good story.

excessive narration

This was an enjoyable and delightful story. It reminded me of my all time favorite female protagonist author, Anne McCafferty.

Delightful

This is a great writer who has an interesting narrative voice. Contemporary in its ironies and sarcasms, apparently technologically advanced, but kind of old-fashioned in certain attitudes. Really a nice combination. The story was sometimes a bit hard to follow, mostly due to unfamiliar sci-fi/fantasy vocabulary. But I did enjoy it, probably enough to go to the next book in the series, and I’m not generally a reader of this genre. Highly entertaining, as I said.

Highly entertaining if a bit hard to follow
