review 1: This prequel had a very confusing beginning, which didn’t particularly grab my interest although I was quite tired while reading so it’s either that or I found it really boring. It didn’t grab me enough to convince me to re-read it to find out if this was the case so I’ll just le...

review 1: Blood Apples: The last story in this anthology of prequels is told by Prince Charming. While Charming isn't totally clueless, he's not the brightest crayon in the box, but really what more would you expect from someone enthralled by a monstrous beauty. This story details the orig...

review 1: I am a huge fan of the Elizabeth Bathory history AND of the bloody Mary legend. Long story short: perfection.Now I do already know quite a lot about the Bathory history, so here the story (being a novella and therefore waaaaay too short) fell a bit short and it just felt kind of ...

review 1: I don't know the original story as I've never stumbled upon Moongirl, so I don't know where the twist was, but I still liked it all together, mostly the ending. Jack (With the beanstalk, yes) was funny as we've seen before, as he bargains with goblins. Moongirl is moon herself (i...

review 1: This is a wonderfully dark spin on an already dark tale. It has all of the same characters, while it is imaginatively different from the iconic tale. The characters each have their own vibrant personalities, complete with some cameos from other Grimm tales (which are fascinating...

review 1: Ok this one was at least better than the last one....but damn! The lame can get a bit much after a while. When I started reading this one it sort of reminded me of a really long game of madlibs and I found myself wondering if someone didn't just write down a bunch of drunken ramb...

review 1: Ohhh so here is the story of a suspected witch that is pregnant with Cinderella being told by Alice Grimm (is she Alice in Wonderland?) and there is Loki hmmm. So this is so different from the first prequel which btw i love. This is good but unlike the first one. If Bianca was pr...

review 1: I downloaded and read these short stories in a reasonably short space of time. While not brilliantly written, they were entertaining enough for me to download the other three prequels and both of the full novels that follow it. There are some very good ideas within these books an...
