The fourth installment in the cerebral fantasy series about Princess Lenora and Prince Coren drops the hapless pair into the worst possible world their friend Sayley can imagine: Winnipeg. The two brave a shopping mall, disrupt a convention of Lenora and Coren impersonators, and confront their authors in a sporadically funny and provocative self-referential narrative that ultimately gets too carried away with its own cleverness.
