The Princess and The Queen, or, The Blacks and The Greens by George R.R. Martin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this throughout! While not a joyful tale, the way it was told and the innate sense of inevitability — present far more here than in other stories, due to the aptly chosen point of view from which the story is written — made this a wonderful (fictional) (hi)story.
