When she was born, Rory Thorne was given 12 gifts and one curse from 13 fairies (as is the tradition for princesses born to the interstellar Thorne Consortium). The one curse, however, may be the most useful thing of all though: the ability to see through flattery and lies, which will likely come in useful in her future, when she's promised in a marriage that's meant to stop a war.
Rory's "curse" is pretty cool and she does have some neat diplomatic abilities, but there's no multiverse in this book, nor is said non-existent multiverse destroyed. This was a fun mashup of fairy tales and space opera, though perhaps not my favorite book ever. Still, it made for a good discussion last night!
