Great storyline if you enjoy a fantasy. (1 more)
Well written
I couldn't put this one down!
I picked this book up on a whim in an esoteric book shop, and read it cover to cover in one evening! I loved the story - a little far fetched fantasy, but to all intents and purposes, doesn't everyone like to disappear into a book and lose themselves?! It appealed to my inner child and fairy tale lover!

East of the Sun, West of the Moon meets other fairy tales in this wonderfully written book. The characters were flawed and perfect. I just want to share this with everyone.
The best part was the mirror books. Why is this not real. It was so well thought out and something that I would love to explore.
Overall the romance, back story, and how it all fit together was perfect. I can't praise this enough.

Excellent adaptation from the original
As a young child, I obsessively watched the Animated movie. Growing up, I have read every adaptation I could get my hands on. This movie did a splendid job of translating the animated film to live action. The development between Belle and the Beast was slower in this version which I loved. Overall, I highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys this fairy tale.

Kyera (8 KP) rated Mirrored (Kendra Chronicles, #3) in Books

As a fan of Alex Flinn's fairytale re-tellings, especially Beastly, I was anticipating this novel greatly. It was a unique take on the Snow White tale's Queen, Huntsman, Prince and happily ever after. As the story of Snow White is pretty well known, there's not much I can say without giving away how this re-telling decided to approach the story. Definitely recommended for those who enjoy fairy tales and happily ever afters.

The third book in the Sisters Grimm series finds Sabrina and Daphne hot on the trail of their kidnapped parents and meeting an uncle everyone in town seems to have forgotten. Once again, the creativity of incorporating the fairy tale characters was wonderful. The book grabbed me from page one and didn't let me go.

Contains spoilers, click to show
Very good book, makes you want to keep on reading, quite atmospheric and draws the reader into the storyline. The author is also good in making the twist at the end unexpected, although you have an inkling something else is going on and the story starts to go in that direction, the actual culprit is not suspected until the end. If you like old fashioned fairy stories then this is a book for you.
