What a delightful little book. I always love stories that flip the traditional structure of fairytales on its head, especially when the damsel in distress suddenly finds agency. This was funny and charming. My only complaint is that, after a number of floors, it gets a bit repetitive. I would've loved to see Floralinda deal with different monsters in new ways, instead of applying the same true and tried method on 85% of them.
