I think what I loved most about this book was less the erotic appeal but rather more that it was about cherishing what it means to be a woman.

The author found so much more truth in these classic fairy tales than the brothers Grimm seemed to have done. Albeit, it's all based on a woman's point of view, but since we're the half of our race that's pushed down and beaten and subdued overtly, I think it's definitely more than fair play.

I was really looking forward to each and every tale. Mainly to see how they'd be twisted to show a different, more positive, perspective, but also because of the positive light they'd release. It's so rare to come across novels or stories or tales releasing feelings of warmth and happiness and positive light these days. Most of which is released is fake; a thin bit of sheer cloth that barely covers underlying problems. In these short stories reality was shown; often scoffed at, and yet all the women felt more empowered afterwards, even if thier situations didn't call for it. They all found happiness one way or another.

And that is why I give this book five stars. Some erotic novels are just well written. This one is well written and leaves a long lasting good feeling in my mind!
