Dysmorphic Kingdom a fairy tale eBook Colleen Chen

This is really unusual. There are some pretty common literary conventions on the surface but the worldview is unique and irreproducible. Imagine a bodice-ripper merged with Jungian phantasmagorias of psychic disunion, beneath which lies a profound thematic examination of emerging female sexuality. Garnish with an assortment of fantasy tropes.

I feel as if I'm watching some old, beloved trash cinema when I read this book. Sometimes it is 70s porn goofiness like Alice In Wonderland or Grafenberg Spot; other times it's the practical effects-laden, sword-n-sandals magic of Ice Pirates, Battle Beyond The Stars or Conan The Barbarian. The big qualifier is that this is from the perspective of a young heroine, and it delves pretty deeply into her peculiar, self-absorbed innocence.

Dysmorphic Kingdom a fairy tale eBook Colleen Chen Reviews

I don't read a lot of fantasy as I feel it's geared towards a younger demographic, but this was a fun read that allowed me to escape my winter wonderland, if only for a minute. Follow up?
A bizarro twist on traditional fantasy tropes, Dysmorphic Kingdom follows Vesper's quest through a magical kingdom to find the owner of a walking, talking, and very horny detached penis.

In a world were women are bartered and education is replaced with magic, Vesper stands out as a strong and confident protagonist that fights against the currents of her family's conservative traditions. With the the threat of marrying a man she despises, Vesper goes on a mad trek to the king's court to find the owner of this strange, anthropomorphic penis.

On her way, she encounters a plague of severed body parts and dark forces at work.
Okay so this was quite the rollercoaster ride but I enjoyed it. I need a sequel like yesterday.

I never thought I’d be reading a romantic novel with a penis as one of the main characters but here we are.

I had moments where I laughed so hard I had to stop reading and that hasn’t happened in a long while for me.

READ THIS BOOK.
This novel is full of vibrant characters and delightful magical happenings. In addition to being entertaining, it expounds upon a struggle every one of us faces self-acceptance. We all have demons to conquer in some form or other, and Chen brings them to life in a most creative and visionary way.
What can you say about a book like Dysmorphic Kingdom? Needless to say, it scores major points for originality (A talking penis? Come on, now!), and I was pleasantly surprised by the turns the plot took. It’s not a tale of erotic exploits such as you might perhaps be expecting from the premise; rather, it’s a well-developed adventure story that focuses more on the emotional journeys of the characters than the sexual ones. Indeed, it has a surprisingly traditional romantic subplot and the usual range of heroes, villains, and those who are both and neither. I enjoyed the writing style, which, by and large, is competent and flows well, although every so often I thought there was a bit too much detail regarding everyday occurrences; personally, I think I would have found the occasional lapse in continuity to be more engaging. However, it is certainly a unique and quite memorable book – I finished it some months ago, and it certainly stands out in my recollection far more than many of the books I’ve read since. I will be curious to see what else this author has up her sleeve!
