The main characters are interesting, if not overly complex. These pepper the plot with humor and were such an amusing touch.
The storage area for all things is, literally, the cloud. And ebook is an enchanted book where the pictures move. The author also makes references to modern day words, but with a fairy tale twist. There are connections to The Wizard of Oz, like Dorothea's love of designer footwear and her guardian/witch named Verte, that are bound to make any reader smile. This allows for some really amusing connections between the various characters and worlds. It takes place in a world where fairy tale kingdoms are melded together like squares on a quilt. With nothing to go on but the cryptic directions of her own green-skinned witch, the trio attempt to escape the witch and restore the rules of magic to the kingdom. She is accompanied by Kato, her not so handsome anymore Prince, and Rexi, the servant with a loud mouth and sticky fingers. With her kingdom in shambles, her parents missing and an evil witch taking up her mother's crown, Dorothea makes a run for it. When her insurmountable mother finally settles things by choosing a husband for her, Dorothea wishes that everything could be different - until it is. As if that isn't bad enough, Dorothea must endure a long line of suitors hoping to gain her hand, and control of the kingdom.
Without knowing WHICH princess was a dangerous to the world as they knew it, all the women in Dorothea's line have been forced to stay within the castle walls. A wicked witch put a spell on one of her ancestors that she would burn the entire world, but she messed up and it skipped a generation, or many. Like many princesses she knows, Dorothea is cursed.
