Some of the writing style was annoying and pulled me out of the story. Aside from that, loved it

It was a decent book. A little slow and redundant in places. Not sure I'll read it again but it was cute.

I love the story. Second time reading it. But boy did I notice the repetitive nature of the prose this time. So many places in the book could have been paragraphs shorter if SJM didn't need to over explain a feeling or appearance. Still a treat setup for a great series.

Loved the narrator. She did a great job. Definitely a favorite book of mine. Second time reading it in as many years. There's a few points where the story feels a tad forced but over all a lovely read.

What a charming book. I could definitely see the influence behind the tales but they were uniquely reimagined. My favorite was probably the Soldier Prince, but they were all magnificent. I would absolutely recommend this book for anyone looking for a quick, thoughtful read.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 62%.

Too little plot desperately trying to make a novel out of a sex scene.
