Tales from the Kingdoms
review 1: Yet another fun read from Sarah Pinborough. This book finishes off the three "fairy tales"(although there is definitely potential for more- as not every strand was tied up). Lots of moral lessons in this one- but some nice funny twists too- and that awful Prince gets put in his place!It works as a stand alone, but so much more fun if you have read the other two.In summary- fun light and frothy - a bit naughty in parts but certainly no Harold Robbins!
review 2: I wasn't at all sure I was going to like this book but I was pleasantly surprised that I did enjoy it but I didn't feel like it had blown my mind with something new. I won this book and the previous book Poison in a competition so considering I didn't pay for it (and I would never pay £10 for a book this
... more size, it's tiny no matter how pretty it is, meaning I'm unlikely to buy any further books in the series). It was a nice idea but the actual writing let the book down big time as you just cannot like the characters at all as you don't get the chance to really know them, apart from The Huntsman/mouse who is just plain naughty! I liked it but didn't love it! less

It surprised me. It surprised me a lot. And I loved it. That's all I have to say.

Highly imaginative re-working of the original with some sensual touches ;-)
