review 1: This was the story of a brother sister relationship that developed into a romance. I only gave 2 stars because the romance aspects were downplayed by the intervention of an evil witch;which I guess was the intention of the story. Overall, it was interesting to read how the two escaped the evils, but I thought the development of Hansel and Gretel's relationship should have been in the forefront of the story. There was adventure with little romance... and there was no link between the intentions of the evil witch and their relationship... Though the story has a strong begining, the happily ever after ending lacked a grand finalé effect.
review 2: This was a cute retelling of Hansel and Gretel with some twists. There is Hansel and Gretel, of course, but they are ... morenot actually related, and there is the creepy witch that sneeks her way into their lives by marrying Hansel's father and putting an enchantment on him. And then of course what would the story be without the cottage in the woods made of candy. Candy that makes you forget everything except for the fact that you want more candy;) This short story had adventure, magic, and a little sweet romance. I look forward to reading more of Jenni James' Faerie Tale Collection series. less
