Reviews

[Sam]

This isn't a bad story but as fantasy stories go it is very Disneyfied with the usual handsome boy, beautiful princess, cute fluffy animals and evil baddie that is found in most Disney stories. Although this is for children, I still found un-necessarily patronising which spoiled a potentially brilliant story. Have certainly read a lot better children's books.
