Alethea Kontis wird als "badass Märchenprinzessin" und als "Fee-Prinzessin der seltsamen Welten" gefeiert. Ihr Schreiben wird für seine Brillanz und zeitlose Qualität gelobt, wobei einige ihren Stil mit einem modernen Shakespeare vergleichen. Kontis erfasst meisterhaft die Essenz alter Märchen und belebt sie für zeitgenössische Leser wieder. Ihre Arbeit wird als Verkörperung der Schönheit einer Prinzessin, des Selbstvertrauens einer Königin und des Witzes eines fröhlichen Märchenkomikers beschrieben, was sie zu einer unverwechselbaren Stimme in der Fantasy-Literatur macht.
