They are Just That Good, in a very original sort of fractured fairy tales way
Note also that many or most of the characters are, to use the term from TVTropes, "Genre Savvy." They know what their roles are supposed to be like.
Probably my favorite example of this is the self-described "unsatisfactory" princess Alianora. She says it all started when the wicked fairy came to her christening, had a wonderful time, and went home without cursing anyone. Ever since, poor Alianora just can't seem to get put under the kind of curse that makes for proper fairy tales....
I love the series, even though I read the fourth book before I knew the others existed (it was actually written or at least published before they were), so there was kind of a spoiler effect there.
"Oh, rats. I thought you might be a hero; you can talk them into anything. Stupid creatures."
