Rate this book
Satujen sääntö nro 2: Tavalliset ihmiset päätyvät seikkailuihin kaiken aikaa. Etenkin silloin, kun sitä vähiten odottavat.

Brielle elää unelmaansa Olipa kerran -yliopistossa, mutta keskellä tenttijaksoa hän ole vieläkään löytänyt oikeaa hetkeä kertoa Bearille todellisista tunteistaan. Kun Bear lähentyy cheerleader Sashan ja Brielle entisen poikaystävänsä Pavãon kanssa, Bear ja Brielle alkavat ajautua erilleen.

Kesäloman jälkeen Brielle päättää kirjoittaa satujen säännöt uusiksi ja yrittää luoda uuden yhteyden Beariin. Mutta naamiaistanssiaiset lähestyvät nopeasti - ehtiikö hän sytyttää kipinän ennen kuin on myöhäistä?

Thanks to Harper Fire Books for sending me a copy of this and the previous graphic novel in the series!

3.5⭐️

I preferred this one to the first, the plot had a lot more going on and we got some good backstory on some of our characters :)

Again, there’s some great inclusivity in these novels, but if you’re going to be purposefully inclusive of lots of different people, I would love to see some different sexualities represented, I know the author is religious so maybe that’s why there isn’t… but I would hope that isn’t the case, I’d hate to think that it’s left out for a reason.

Overall I enjoyed the reading experience and the art style is really lovely!

I loved this book! It was such a fun read, and one that I have been waiting for for a long time!!

Brielle has been loving her fairytale lifestyle at Once Upon a Time University, but right now it’s exam season, and she wishes that she was an actual princess in an actual fairytale, as Princesses never do exams, plus they always look so shiny and perfect, which isn’t always reality. And with her closeness with her best friend Bear starts to drift apart as they talk to other people, she is determined to finally tell him how she feels. But with the Masquerade Ball fast approaching, and with Bear busy with the War of the Roses rugby matches, will she be able to spark a romance in time?

I loved this book! It was the sequel to the first book in this series: Brielle and Bear: Once Upon a Time, and I absolutely loved that book, and this one definitely did not disappoint! I do (sadly) believe that this is the final book in the series, which is a shame as I have loved this series so much, but I can’t see what else Salomey comes up with! This book had the perfect fairytale ending, and I loved how it still seemed dreamy even though lots of stressful things were going on. I loved all the characters, and even if they were side characters, they all seemed to play huge parts in the story! I really hope that lots of readers read this beautiful Graphic Novel series, as it truly is magical!

Olipa kerran yliopistossa on kiireinen vuosi, etenkin Briellellä, joka ei ehdi huomaamaan kuinka Bear on rakastunut häneen. Eikä herkkä Bear ole uskaltaa tunnustaa tunteitaan, vaikka kaikki muut näkevät ne kilometrien päähän. Tässäkin oli julmaa kiusaamista (takauma).

Tässä on söpöt hahmot, etenkin kampaustaan jatkuvasti muuttava Bear, joka täyttää 21 - hänen synttäreihinsä liittyy väärinkäsitys kunnon Hallmark-tyyliin. Bear on suosittu, mutta epävarma koulun rugbyjoukkueen varakapteeni, jolla on lukihäiriö ja joka soittaa selloa. Brielle on ihana lukutoukka, jonka opiskelustressiin ja kirjafetivaalien järjestyksen aiheuttamiin huoliin oli helppo samaistua.

Plussaa moninaisista hahmoista (esim. Briellellä on niin heterokromia kuin vitiligo ja rugbyjoukkueessa olevalla Levillä on proteesi) ja pitkähiuksisita poikahahmoista. Miinusta liian pitkistä urheilukohtauksista.

Suosittelen!

Niiiiin upea kuvitus. Mahtavasti saatu kaikki ilmeet ja eleet tehtyä kuvien ja tekstien avulla. Ekan osan luvusta oli aikaa, joten olin vähän ulapalla, mitä olikaan tapahtunu. Onneks osittain kerrottiin, mitä ekassa osassa oli käynyt. Tässä on tosi paljon hahmoja, ne on kaikki tosi ihania, mutta vaikee pysyä kärryillä kuka on kuka ja osa on niin samannäkösiä. Paljon vähemmistörepresentaatiota tässä. Ihana ja satumainen kerronta.

This was such a fun read and honestly the perfect read for me as I started to feel myself falling into a reading slump. It's was so cute and really hit me in the feels. It made me way more emotional then I thought it would, but I was absolutely here for it and I loved how it all came together. I also feel like we got quite a lot of character development in this one and I really liked getting to see a lot more of the side characters that we met in the first book.

I absolutely recommend this graphic novel series. The artwork is beautiful and I love the different storyline and overall representation throughout. It's such a fun and light-hearted story and I have grown to love these characters so much! I can't wait to read whatever Salomey Doku writes and illustrates next!
