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 matter the age were mentally damaged. I mean who has ever suffered in life would hope their children would willing suffer the same fate just to be happily ever after? So wrong in so many accounts. And the modern touch was interesting but the way the author made parodies and pans of it while also giving the story a "fairytale valley girl" touch just made want to cringe. This isn't the way fairytales are suppose to go..... And don't even mention the shoe fetish that every character seems to go throug... moreh *smh*. Book Summary: Briar just got under my skin just as much as Apple White since of the way she goes around judging her mother rather harshly. In a sense I would have to say this is a model child for some of the newer generation who think they are so much better than their parents while pointing out their parent' or parents' flaws when they are just as flawed. She just barely redeemed herself by joining in playing with her brothers in the end without blowing up at them. Otherwise it was just more terrible puns, spaz out due to something was missing from her "outfits" and her excitement for a fate that no one in their own mind would want to have repeated just makes you want to clench your teeth.
review 2: A great teaser for the Ever After High books by introducing Briar Beauty's story. I didn't realize that this was going to be a short story since I just downloaded it based on the title and not by the book's description. Definitely written for the Tweens age group, but anyone who enjoys fairy tales and wants more about your favorite characters will probably show up in these books. I won't necessarily go out of my way to grab this series, but if Lilly picks them up, I would read them with her. less
