review 1: This book steps further away from the original fairy tales it is based on, than the previous ones. But this series has grown strong enough that comparisons to the originals don't do it justice anymore, because Hines has created a different most complex and detailed fantasy world. It is more dramatic than previous installments, as well as enjoyable, well conceived and executed, but it is also less funny. I like how this book was far more a character tale rather than a "save the kingdom" story.
review 2: This series keeps getting better and better. After telling us Cinderella's story in 'The Stepsister Scheme' and the Little Mermaid's story in 'The Mermaid's Madness' Jim this time takes us deeper into the fairy realm and introduces us to a grown-up version of Re... mored Riding Hood.Jim's stories have little to do with Disney's fairy tales. As a matter of fact he did a marvelous job in unearthing the (often gruesome) old fairy stories and begun to weave his own tales about the abused heroines.I have to admit that my favorite person in this series is Talia (Sleeping Beauty). And this time we learn more about her background and the hard reality of her past.'Red Hood's Revenge' is an amazing tale. less
