review 1: The second set of prequels gave more back story and wove the stories together a little more. Still a few grammatical errors, but again if you can get past that the stories are good. This group actually left you with more questions about what is going on. All of the stories are put together in an indie sort of way. You never actually know where you are on the timeline since they aren't given to you in order. Instead they jump back and forth in the timeline. If you don't like that these stories will be hard to follow.
review 2: As you know, I LOVE fairytales – especially the old ones by the brother Grimm, H.C. Andersen, the old tales of Thor, Odin – well, I could go on. I grew up in Denmark and Sweden and we have so much folklore, fairytales and old history i... moret’s a delight.I’ve always wondered what happened before or after the story is told. What happens in between the pages we don’t know about? Apparently I’m not the only one who’s been wondering, so have Cameron Jace too, and I’m happy he chose to put it on paper and share his tales with us.Prequels 7-10 give a little more insight, a little deeper look into the fairytale-world, but it doesn’t necessarily shows us the Truth. Because, honestly, who knows which one of the characters tells the truth, and who is lying? We get to see more of Jack and who his little girlfriend (the mermaid Marmelade) are, we met Rumpelstiltskin (or Rumleskaft as he’s called in Danish) – one of my favorite characters I might add in the old tales, the Sandman, and of course my favorite Queen – the Queen of Sorrow.Cameron jumps a bit back and forth in history in his tales which makes sure you’re kept a bit on your toes so you get who is whom and most importantly – why. There were twists in these prequels I didn’t see coming, but loved just as much as the ones I did see (and knew). Not to mention, he gives the story of the Beauty and the Beast a whole new point, which I always love.(Because in truth… Who is really the Beast and who is the Beauty?) And who knew there was a girl in the moon?If you liked the previous 6 prequels, you’re going to love these as well. And this has definitely just made me more anxious to read the first book in the Grimm Diaries; Snow White Sorrow. Can’t wait!!By the way… I am currently on some kind of fairytale-trip. I’ve just read these wonderful prequels, I’m watching the first season of Once Upon a Time on TV and I’m reading Brother Grimm’s stories for my eldest son (who loves them)… Sooo, you can say I’m knee-deep into fairytales right now :-) less
