- Y'all, this series is just too cute. I love the con setting, and even the fake Starfield franchise sounds so fun I wish it was real.
- THE PRINCESS AND THE FANGIRL is at its heart a love letter to fandom. Though a lot of the plot hinges on the dark side of that world - misogyny, entitlement, over-veneration of nostalgia - it also gets at the joy of falling into another universe, sharing your enthusiasm with others, and the excitement of seeing yourself reflected there.
- It does require a bit of suspension of disbelief to buy that a famous starlet could pull off a Prince and the Pauper scheme in the age of social media, but the story and these characters are so loveable, who cares?
