review 1: Just like the first book, The Princess Academy, the premise did not appeal to me and the first few pages did not grab me, but then, I found the story hooked inside my brain. I'd put the book down and wonder what was missing and realize it was the story I was missing. This secon...

review 1: Just to be difficult, I think I'd give this book 4.5 stars. I LOVE the idea of a princess who sneaks off on covert missions that involve scaling castle walls, wrestling hungry monsters, and dashing off fearlessly to help others. I also love the name of her unicorn/horse, Frimplep...

review 1: This was offered for free from iBooks. It's a fun, very quick read (it probably took me ten minutes to read at the most), but it's enjoyable. It makes you want to see more from these characters, which is probably the point of them being offered for free. Intended for a pretty you...

review 1: In this little chapter about how Ashlynn Ella lives her life we also learn about some of the special gifts she has that are only touched on a little bit in the Ever After High books. She can talk to animals, and they can talk to her, so she is a vegan. It is explained and not pus...

review 1: I really enjoyed the second installment of Ever After High. I love how the characters are becoming more in depth and developed as the story goes on. I enjoyed the little plot twists here and there. I like how the author is taking the old fairy tales and twisting them a little bit...

review 1: This trilogy is one of the best books i have ever read- i think it could even outcomplete the great J.k Rowling! I am a Massive fan of Shannon Hale and i love the research She puts into making her stories really come alive. I have been shouting out about this book to everyone i k...

review 1: A few weeks ago, a friend has asked for graphic novel recommendations for her daughter, "preferably with a strong female lead who kicks ass & doesn't look like a street-walker Barbie." I immediately thought of Shannon Hale's comic series she was writing with her husband. I hadn't...

review 1: I was all ready to give this four stars and was enjoying it thoroughly and thought it better than both of the previous books, which were cute, fun reads when I got to the end and the book just fell off a cliff. No spoilers, but I was so disappointed with the last few chapters and...

review 1: This short story is an edition to the Ever After High series. Since this was a free download I really didn’t mind its brevity. I think that all these little stories are fun and insightful. Hunter Huntsman isn’t really a character that we get a lot of information on in the first ...

review 1: Out of the entire series, I think I liked this one the least. It was still quite entertaining, although the main character was not my favourite at all. Also, it slightly felt like the author was getting a little bored of the series at this point. It didn't seem like she was payin...

review 1: It's a Disney-combating, toy-selling ploy, but I'm still excited to read Ever After High. The fairy tale slang might get old, but it's fun. Maddy Hatter is just a little on the cooky side, which makes seeing things from her perspective very interesting. She also has this bubbly, ...

review 1: This look into Madeline Hatter’s life is interesting and different. She is in the tea shop that her father owns, and a pissy princess comes in. She is the daughter of King Lear, which really isn’t a fairytale, more like a Shakespearean story … so I’m not sure where the boundaries...

review 1: 3,5*Na to, že je to jen krátká ukázka Haleiny tvorby, je to zatím ten nejlepší drabble ze všech šesti ukázkových textů k EAH knihám. Maddie je jedna z nejmilejších dívek na EAH a i když se někdy cítí nesvá nebo je jí smutno, vždy se stará o své přátele i nové známé. Líbila se mi ...

review 1: I find it amusing that Cinderella's daughter is obsessed with shoes, but what else can you expect when her own fairy tale hinges on a glass slipper, right? Outside of her shoes, Ashlynn doesn't care what she wears - which is a good thing since, if she's late, her clothes "sizzle...

review 1: Popelka je velká ochránkyně přírody a má rádaAshlynn mi jako postava přijde nanicovatá, bezvýrazná. Jasně, i vegani chtějí mít své zastoupení v umění a oukej, v EAH je to jedna z nejskromnějších postav, tak abychom tam neměli jen ty krasotinky, co se věnují zkrášlování a oblečení...

review 1: Další ukázka ke knize Storybook of legends ze série Ever After High.Raven Queen je taky princezna. Má zámek i služebnictvo, jenže to její bohatství i budoucnost už jsou o dost temnější, než u Apple. Kdo by se taky divil, Raven je přeci dcerou Zlé královny. Ona sama bude jednoho d...

review 1: Series Summary: Totally didn't like the idea and wonder why I chose these books again. Being a fan of fairytales I was looking forward to see what kind of twist but this is going to be one series that I am truly going to stay away from. The children were snobby and the people no ...

review 1: I find it amusing that, in spite of all the princes available from the fairy tales, the only drabble featuring a male is about the son of the Hunstman from "Snow White" and "Little Red Riding Hood." I also legitimately laughed so hard it hurt when I read this: "... they enacted...

review 1: Now that the THE STORYBOOK OF LEGENDS, the first book in the EVER AFTER series, has been published, this eBook is a complete waste of reader's time. This story is actually chapter 1 of the aforementioned book meant as a teaser to sell books rather than a bonus story. This story ...

review 1: Who says fairytales can't be rewritten? At Ever After High, the descendants of popular fairytales prepare to embrace and fulfill their destinies. Be it good or bad, they have to stick to their designated scripts but Raven isn't having it. She does not want to follow in her mother...

review 1: I loved this story. It started out a little slow but turned into a very endearing, heartfelt story that brought tears to my eyes by the end. I love Shannon Hale but I'm always skeptical when there are several books in a series that feels like it would have been fine with just the...
