review 1: Leí The Fairy's Assistant, y Cinder-Elle, y los dos fueron "aaawwww❤" Muy lindos. Hayden me simpatizó mucho, especialmente por su inseguridad al no saber leer, escribir, o el idioma de las hadas. You're not stupid, baby (his insult), you are amazing and wonderful and sweet and nice and good and just because you don't know those things, doesn't mean you're less or "stupid/ignorant", you are far from that, I love you Hayden, cuchi.Y Elleron, tan fuerte y valiente y good and nice and beautiful. Su relación con Theo me pareció muy tierna. El final me pareció un poco apresurado, y me dio vergüenza ajena(?) en un momento de confrontación física entre Theo y Elle, pero dentro de todo, estuvo todo muy bien. Las demás historias capaz las lea más adelante, por ahora voy ... morea leer otras que me interesaron más.
review 2: This is the fourth in the Fairytales Slashed series and I enjoyed it as much as the previous three. While I have an eBook cutoff of $7.99, I did pay $8.99 for this book because I enjoyed the previous ones and with the number of works in this anthology, I think it's worth it.The Fairy's Assistant: [4 stars] I enjoyed this story about Hayden, a man who travels with his fairy, Lily, while doing good deeds. In this story, magic and magic users are banned and illegal. Hayden is pursued by a knight of the kingdom who has suspicions that Hayden is a mage. I thought this was a fun and cute story and I loved Hayden and Sir Sidney Ackerman.The Prince of the Moon: [5 stars] I really enjoyed this story about a prince who is desperately seeking to break the curse that his mother, a witch, cast upon the kingdom. In a classic example of the son suffering for the parent's sins, Solae is shunned by his family and the kingdom as the evil witch spawn. When he reaches out to a scholar to help him break the curse, he is surprised and pleased when Millio de Wiste travels in person to his kingdom to assist. I loved this story and the ending. Very sweet.Learning to See: [5 stars] this story was a fresh twist on Beauty and the Beast. The twist is, that while the Beast follows the classic tale of the cursed prince in hideous form, the "Beauty" of the story is Brennin, a merchant's third son who is badly disfigured from a childhood fire that killed his mother. This story was very sweet and at times heart-breaking. This one was my favorite in the bunch.Cinder-Elle: [5 stars] Another interpretation of the classic Cinderella tale, Elle is the son of a Duke who lost his sight when young. After the death of the Duke, Elle's awful stepmother tries to put her son in Elle's place and forces Elle to be their servant. Elle believes that no one would want a blind Duke anyway so he doesn't fight for his rightful birthright. I really enjoyed this story as well. Another sweet and satisfying fairytale.Capture the Moon: [4 stars] TRICKED! This story was an F/F romance and the story was cute, but it was just not for me. I still gave it 4 stars even though I didn't find it sexy. less
