Reviews

[Hail Hydra! ~Dave Anderson~ · Rating 4 out of 5]

The author has lost control of Fairy Tale Land; the creatures are writing their own tales. Will there ever be another happy ever after, especially with the “big bad wolf” roaming free in the woods?

[Eshita Dey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved the stories as a whole different kind, different from original ones, I mean. As the intro said it correctly, the stories are indeed dark, twisted and sometimes downright bitter. So read the stories without thinking about the original one and you'll be okay.

I have no idea how this got into my Books app. A few of these unraveled fairy tales are decent and gruesome, but overall, it's just an okay book. I was going to give it 1 star because I found so many typos while reading and I hate that, but I'm feeling generous, so 2 stars for the few stories I kinda liked.
