Yup this is the first book finished for the year of 2017! I started this series last year and I must say I'm thoroughly enjoying it. It's not the best writing in the world; however, it definitely makes for a fun read. Here are some things that I really love about this book and the series in general:

-The author definitely takes the original concepts of fairy tales and flips them around making them unique and different.
-She completely turns around the typical stereotypes associated with fairytales (example: all the girls have to be beautiful, they all need to be saved by princes, they can't do anything unless their kids)
-They're all fast, quick reads. I love that I can literally sit down for a little while and listen to these books and fly right through them.
-The narrator for the audiobooks is AMAZING. If you're considering reading or starting this series I would highly recommend the audiobooks.
-I loved that they touched on the original Little Mermaid story, not the Disney version.
-The change in name of characters and scenery is extremely entertaining.
-This a great way to get younger kids into reading especially if they enjoy fairy tales.

I would definitely recommend these stories. They all kind of have the same format with the concept that the kids get sucked into a fairy tale world and then they must figure out have to save the main character of that story; however, I will say that each story has it's own twists and turns so I wouldn't expect them all to be 100% the same. I really do enjoy these and probably will try to finish the series this year.
