Simply Enchanting

"Look with your heart. Look with your mind."

I just finished reading WinterDream and I'll start by saying that author Chantal Gadoury is truly gifted as her fairy tales are always created with a magic spell that captivates me from beginning to end. This storyline was beautifully flawless and her characters leaped out of the pages and invited me into the magical world of WinterDream were I felt all the emotions that were written on each page and fell further in love with the Nutcracker.

If you are looking for an immersive holiday tale then look no further as this story is simply enchanting

Don't be a bully!

Manga is not my first choice of something I would pick up if I was browsing Waterstones. I did read Naruto when I was at school but I have never had a physical copy. It is only recently that I have been getting into anime because my other half watches a lot and I end up watching it with him; Fairy Tale, Dragonball Z and Full Metal Alchemist just to name a few.

So I decided to pick up something out of my comfort zone and give some proper manga a try.

Once upon a time is a mash up of all the different fairy tale characters and them living happily or not so happily together in modern life. You have all the favourite ones such as The Wicked Witch, Hook, Snow White and many others. The musical episode in one of the later series's is brilliant and will have you singing the songs. They needed to end it on a high when the last story line came to an end and some of the main characters left, but they have tried to keep it going by introducing new characters and people but didn't work, sorry stopped watching it then.

This is going to have to go down as a DNF, I'm afraid.

It seemed to start good but then came the information overload and I am so not a fan of that. I got to 21% and just couldn't muster up the energy to continue reading it because it held very little appeal.

I was expecting some amazing fairy-tale-esque story with a kick-arse hero by the name of Charming.

Maybe I didn't get far enough into the story for that to happen but heaps of info are so not my thing and it really turns me off a story and that's what happened here.
