Tales from the Kingdoms of Fable #1
The Scarred Prince
A BITTER AND RECLUSIVE PRINCE. A DETERMINED INTRUDER. AN UNLIKELY FRIENDSHIP.
His face scarred from a witch’s curse, Prince Sebastian retreats inside his castle, resentful and angry. He shuns contact with everyone except the Red Hoods, the elite soldiers he trains and leads.
Four years ago, Sienna was kidnapped. Still traumatized by her ordeal, she needs to learn to protect herself to feel safe again, and she wants the Prince to train her.
Reluctantly, Sebastian agrees.
But long-held beliefs aren't so easy to cast aside. Can the bitter soldier and the haunted girl overcome their demons? Or will their pasts rip them apart?
If you enjoy strong heroines who refuse to wait to be rescued and the men who love and accept them wrapped in a fairy tale bow, you’ll love The Scarred Prince and this new series of standalone but interconnected fairy tale retellings.

💍💍💍 (three stars as rated in rings that she don't need cuz this girl is IN-DE-PEN-DENT, BRUH!)
This was pretty good. I'm hopeful for the rest of series because I think it has the potential to go some original places. The "scarred prince," in and of himself, was likeable enough. But the circumstances of the "climactic moments" were... meh? I guess I just wanted more from all that. I liked the ending, though. And I have a sneaking suspicion that we will be seeing more of in the next book...
Content Warnings for this book: emotional trauma, manipulation, mind control, abduction, hidden identity, arranged marriage, facial scarring, war themes and discussion of battle, combat

It was okay. It kept my interest but didn’t really captivate me. I liked the characters but I wasn’t attached to them. Overall it was just okay.

Utterly Charming, no pun intended
Ms. Everest has managed to weave a lovely tale incorporating echoes and nuances of fables you know and love into a fresh and highly-enjoyable read. It’s an absolute delight with characters you’ll fall for quickly. I can’t wait for the next installment and more adventures from my new favorite princesses, who, I’m thrilled to find, are quite capable of saving themselves.

For a book under 250 pages, this story was well developed, with great characters, villainous snakes, and a plot that made me read this in one sitting. I fell in love with Sebastian's broodiness from the get go. I knew that under all that was someone genuinely hurting and frustrated with the cards he had been dealt. That's when Sienna entered the picture. She was hurting and had her own trauma. But I love how she viewed the world and that she wouldn't be trapped and kept. She wanted to earn her place in the world. And earn both Sebastian's and Marcus' respect she did. Women can be such villainous snakes and it was made so obvious in this story. Both Lady Camila and Princess Lacy are awful creatures and didn't deserve to be with Sebastian. I hated them. I was so proud of sienna for the trust she placed in him telling him about her past. Then how quickly that tables turned! Ugh I was so darn frustrated with Sebastian. Just because she didn't tell him she was a princess didn't mean she was like the others. Fast forward, he finally gets it through his skull and makes up with sienna. I love the twist on the dreamworld and how it's playing a part into this story and it seems through out the next books too.

Feminist beauty and the beast retelling with spies
Fun beauty and the beast retelling with a lot of feminist themes. I lived the creativity and the ingenuity of the characters who were training or who were spies. Some of it was a little unbelievable, but it was a lot of fun to read about.

This is exactly the kind of fairytales we need!
Prince Sebastian became a recluse after a witch's curse scarred his face. His only interaction is with the elite squad he trains, known as the Red Hoods. Sienna's past haunts her, where she was kidnapped and vows to learn to protect herself. When their paths meet, sparks fly, but some secrets stand in the way.
I read this book in one sitting. It is simply superb! The characters are so well written, especially Sienna. She is so strong and determined. Despite everything she faced in the past, she refuses to see herself as a victim and strives to do everything to protect herself. This book focused a lot on female empowerment and tried to break from the traditional role of women in fairytales as damsels in distress and showed how badass they are.
Sebastian is a great love interest. Even though he was reluctant at first in accepting Sienna as a ranger, I liked how supporting and respectful he became. He treated her as an equal. They were marvellous together.
The supporting characters were wonderful and given importance which is a huge plus point.
The world building wasn't elaborate but was enough to paint a picture.
The best parts were the pacing of the story and the unexpected twists. I can't point out a single flaw in the whole book. I was completely sucked in.
Though the next book has Natasha as the lead, Sienna and Sebastian are on a quest to help the princesses, so I'm eager to see how it all works out.
One of the best fairytale inspired books I've read with a mix of Beauty and the Beast and Red Riding Hood, with some minor references to other stories.
A must read for all fantasy and fairytale romance lovers.

I recently started a new series called Kingdoms of Fable by Erika Everest. The first book is The Scarred Prince, which is promoted as an adaptation of "Beauty and the Beast" and "Little Red Riding Hood." Instead of retelling these well-known fairy tales, I found that The Scared Prince was actually an original story with references to many other fairy tales that were not listed in the description. I knew about Erika Everest from the Fairytale Courtyard group on Facebook that she shares with one of my favorite authors, A.G. Marshall. This series is quite new with only two books out so far, and I think it's off to a terrific start. It's about a group of princesses who know each other due to a shared curse inspired by "The Twelve Dancing Princesses." Each book focuses on one of their adventures while further developing their shared friendships and experiences.
The Scarred Prince does not feel like a true "Beauty and the Beast" adaptation because the prince is still very much human and is able to function normally in society without being judged or feared for his deformation like in the fairy tale. The fabled "beastly" curse only affects half of his face with grotesque scars, similar to The Phantom of the Opera. Prince Sebastian uses a hood to hide his deformation in public, which allows him to be a regular prince without the need for an enchanted staff of servants. The most interesting parts of the story rely on its heroine, a kickass warrior princess named Sienna who wishes to join the prince's army of rangers. She makes a memorable impression on Sebastian by using cunning and stealth to sneak into his chamber without getting caught and pleading her case to him. Through her actions, she demonstrates the benefits of having a female spy on his team who can easily slip in and out of court affairs to gain valuable information. She is such a strong protagonist that she singlehandedly steals the whole story.
Another thing I like about this book is the length. It is long enough to tell a complete story but short enough to not have to sift through endless chapters of exposition. The book is pleasantly fast-paced compared to other books I've read recently. The ending leaves just enough questions to want to read more of the series without being unsatisfying. Sienna has a dark past that is revealed in bits and pieces throughout the narrative, which is what motivates her to become a ranger who is capable of defending herself. The only downfall of the short length is how late the book introduces the dream world that Sienna is trapped in at night along with the other princesses. This is where the book introduces the heroines of future stories in the series that I am eager to get to know better.
The love story between Sienna and Prince Sebastian plays a major role in this book, but it was not the most memorable part. Sebastian is impressed with Sienna's cleverness on the battlefield and sneaky methods of gathering information. He considers the prospect of marrying her several times but is so traumatized by the other women who ran away after seeing his disfigured face that he fears the same thing will happen to her. Sienna, on the other hand, is so obsessed with her independence and battle training that she does not want to consider settling down even though it is obvious that she has feelings for Sebastian. These star-crossed lovers wrestle with the idea of taking their relationship to the next level throughout the book. Though the romance is engaging, Sienna is so strong of a character that I cared more about her happiness than I did about her finding romance with Sebastian or any other suitor.
The Scarred Prince is an impressive start to a new fairy tale series about princesses who don't need rescuing. I was highly impressed with all of the ways that Sienna used her femininity to her advantage and proved that a woman can be just as capable as a man by relying on her unique strengths to make up for their physical differences, something that Disney failed to portray in the recent remake of Mulan. I am eager to read the next book in this series, The Golden Ball, and learn more about the magical dream world where all of the princesses meet in secret at night.

3.5 stars
First of all, I *really* liked how she wove Red Riding Hood into this B&tB retelling. Sienna's motivation to train with the Wolf of the West was a unique and logical way to bring the story's Beauty into the Beast's castle. Sebastian's curse and its remedy were different from other B&tBs I've read, which was interesting... Hopefully there will be more threads of that wrapped up in another book. Sienna and Sebastian were such fun to get to know, and their tangled issues of truth and trust made for a compelling B&tB story.
And the League of Princesses, what a backstory to be building from! I am intrigued to see how that continues to play into further stories in this series.
To be honest, though, Sienna's choices at the end made her seem a lot more immature than she'd been through the rest of the book, which was pretty frustrating.
[spoilers ahead]
The (tired, childish) conceit that "marriage ties you down" and she needed more time being independent, getting to do what she wanted, but at the same time telling Sebastian that she *did* want to marry him eventually [subtext being "after I've had my fill of freedom"], refusing to accept his proposal but also asking him to join her while she goes on adventures (un-engaged, despite the *massive* scandal that would cause and the clear danger presented by traveling together unchaperoned...) ugh. If she's capable of asking that of him, she's definitely too selfish and immature for marriage, so I guess it's good that she didn't accept, but it seemed out of character for her to make requests like that. I was annoyed to lose respect for a MC I'd really liked up to that point.

Four years ago Sienna and 11 other girls went through a traumatic event. Now she’s determined to do anything possible to learn to protect herself. She decides her best option is to be taught by the best—the leader of a group of elite soldiers. The problem is he’s become too reclusive to approach. Not even other royalty is given entry to his home. After reading all that he’s written she has to get resourceful.
Years ago Prince Sebastien went through his own traumatic event, winding up cursed and scarred. Now that he’s the leader of the Red Hoods he certainly doesn’t want to include a female in their group, regardless of his reaction to that resourcefulness.
The Scarred Prince is the first book in a new series set in the world of Fable. A previous novella, Orphan Queen, gave a small taste, but with Scarred Prince we get an expanded view of this new world, one that’s developed well and is exciting to visit. The story incorporates elements from multiple fairytales—Beauty and the Beast and Red Riding Hood specifically—and does so wonderfully, giving a unique twist to the stories we know. Some of the side characters are fun to meet right along with the hero and heroine. I’m already looking forward to the next story.

After an ordeal in her youth, Sienna goes to the Red Hoods desperate to be trained in defense. Prince Sebastian was scarred by a witch and is extremely self-conscious about his looks because of it and because of how other women have slighted him. When he meets Sienna, they strike a friendship immediately despite the differences in their station.
Like, it was fine. It wasn't bad enough to rank any lower and there were some really interesting things about the fairy tales which were involved. I found the whole feminist angle weird and a little poorly done. She learned how to fight and not need a man but she also oscillated so much to get to that conclusion. The whole premise also got a little fuzzy when the actual events of her kidnapping were revealed, like I don't know how physical skill would defend her from a magical attack but go off I guess.
The fairy tales were fun and the combination of them is what provided the unique twists that made it interesting. The romance was a little weird and I don't know if I vibed with the age difference, especially when they drew attention to it. I don't think I'll be reading on but it was okay as a quick read.

This is the first book in a new series that combines fairy tales we all grew up with along with a story that is appealing to anyone who loves fairy tales! I happen to love fairy tales so I bought the first three books (all that have been written so far) and so far I am not disappointed with my choice.
This book is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast but with a twist that may mean the “beast” may never be changed back to what he was before. It also concerns a young girl who seeks out the “beast” to train her because she wants to be able to defend herself and not be taken captive again as she and 12 other girls were. Their comradely is also part of this book as we readers find out what happened to her and the determination she has to rescue another girl
who also was kidnapped and now is now “missing”!
I recommend this book to all who love fairy tales and fantasy and are looking for a good book to escape the troubles we are in as a country and the world as well. It’s a great reprieve for awhile to “lose” yourself within the pages of a story that will hold your interest to the end and leave you wanting to continue this series!

Fun mix of fairytales
I enjoyed reading this story. It was a fun mix of various fairytales. The description mentioned Beauty and the Beast and Little Red Riding Hood, but the Twelve Dancing Princesses, The Three Little Pigs, and the Pied Piper were all woven into the main plot. Other fairytales were also touched on but seemed more like teasers for other books in the series. These included Sleeping Beauty, The Swan Princess, Snow White, and Rapunzel, though some of them were very subtle, so I could have misidentified them.
I loved the characters and the romance was sweet and slow building.

I almost DNF’d near the beginning because the writing felt inexperienced. And there were some particularly painful grammatical errors and typos (such as, “the world tilted on its access” which offends both the editor in me AND the aerospace engineer in me) but I’m glad I stuck with it. The story picked up and was worth it in the end. I relate to the “woman working in a male-dominated environment” thing Sienna had going on and I did greatly enjoy watching her use her skills and intelligence to out-perform the men she went up against.
June 15, 2021
So I sat down to read a few chapters before bed and ended up going to bed at 1 am. Yeah, I ended up reading it from start to finish. It was the most interesting start to a fairy tale series ever. The lessons in the book are well done and integrated into the story in a way that it furthered the plot. Alex didn't end up being so bad and I hope he does get a happy ending. And the league, oh I loved them so much! I really hope we get more of the Sienna and Sebastion in the rest of the series because I love them!

A fine start to what is sure to become another of my favourite series!
I found this story retelling mashup of fairy tales a very well written one. The story introduces and leads into the other books of the series but doesn't feel as if it ends on a cliffhanger. If you like fairy tale retellings and if you have read The Four Kingdoms and Beyond the Four Kingdoms series, I suspect you will enjoy this read as well

As a caveat, I am an English teacher and creative writer. I believe most people would really enjoy this book. However, for me, the poor quality of the writing was distracting. The book reminded me of an author’s first draft, the draft where the author is so excited about the plot that he/she doesn’t bother adding descriptions or checking for spelling errors or removing tropes. The plot was promising, but I kept being distracted by the writing.

I love the idea of combining fairy tales to create a new retelling.
How uniqueeeeeeeeee
Listen besties, the concept for this series is actually so interesting to me because I have never seen anything like it in all my years of kindle unlimited reading.
Basically I will be reading the other books in this series.
(Although there was a lot of context that I feel was from another book but I can’t find it on kindle so maybe I’m just crazy)

Yet another fun take on beauty and the beast
In this story, the beast isn’t a mean and cruel man. And beauty isn’t a helpless girl. They face very different obstacles yuan the traditional story, but it makes them all that much more real.
This is a clean fiction, but it is not Christian fiction so for my followers who are looking for only CF, this is your notice. :)

Fantastic Fairy Tale Revisited
I love this story! The characters are fantastic! I love the strong feminine influence! Princesses can be strong in their own right. I love the interweaving of these fairy tales that remind us that our own stories are intertwined with others. We are not alone, but our words and actions affect others, for both good and ill. Happy Reading!

A fairy tale rewrite with very unique story lines that I enjoyed, but it took me awhile to get into the story. The little details that the story had which will make me want to read the next one to hopefully find out the rest of the story.

How fun
I so love a capable heroine and Sienna, princess or no, fits the bill. She is clever, and full of spunk, and determined to make her own way. This is a fun story with nods to classic fairy tales. A pretty good read.

It was a fun read. And the fairytale hints were fun to find, but it wasn't overwhelming if you're not into that kinda thing. It was really fun, and I liked it a lot.
January 22, 2021
Wow! I loved this! All of the different tales woven into one was really fun. Sienna is a great character and I look forward to reading more.

I understand it's hard to get depth in a 200 pg book, but I just never connected with the MC.

This is yet another installment in the "if only they would talk to each other like adults" series of romance novels. It was promising and then it didn't deliver.
