Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Royal Chase (The Royals of Monterra, #2) in Books

Jul 12, 2018

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is my first Sariah Wilson novel and I'm glad that the cover caught my eye. I have always loved fairy-tales and any book that has a princess makes me want to read it. The characters in this book were really cute. I really enjoyed the chemistry between the characters and the banter was a lot of fun.

The plot line was a little predictable but I was still able to enjoy it. Ultimately, this was a good read that helped me take my mind off of my every day stresses.

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.

B (62 KP) rated The 10th Kingdom - Season 1 in TV

Nov 2, 2018

First of all, being a fan of BBC period dramas, I absolutely love the genre of the TV mini-series. And The 10th Kingdom is one of my all-time favorite. I remember watching it our recorded copy on video cassette (hard to believe its that old ?) as a child and I'm pretty sure that it was the source of my fascination with fairy tales. The special effects are actually surprisingly good. It's a pity that it took them so long to make this first series because it would have been interesting to learn about some of the other kingdoms in the second "book." Overall, such an amazing cult classic ?

Kate (355 KP) rated Once Upon a Time - Season 1 in TV

Jan 3, 2019

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.

The Glass Slipper

Cinderella- With a wicked stepmother (Eleanor Audley) and two jealous stepsisters (Rhoda Williams, Lucille Bliss) who keep her enslaved and in rags, Cinderella (Ilene Woods) stands no chance of attending the royal ball. When her fairy godmother (Verna Felton) appears and magically transforms her reality into a dream come true, Cinderella enchants the handsome Prince Charming at the ball, but must face the wrath of her enraged stepmother and sisters when the spell wears off at midnight.

Incredible fairy tale adventure (0 more)

Got bored in some descriptive parts and wanted to pass on to the adventure chapters (0 more)

Classic Childs tale

Contains spoilers, click to show

Lyra is a orphan growing up with a group of boring scholars. She has an incredible imagination and would drop anything to do in an adventure with her best pal Roger.

However Roger is kidnapped and taken north by the gobblers. Lyra, being the strong independent young woman she is, is determined to get him back.

This classic story has everything to get your imagination going. There are kidnappings, witches, daemons, armoured bears, hot air balloon trips and a machine that can tell the truth.

Totally worth a read
