[Samantha Matherne · Rating 4 out of 5]

Beautiful artwork with inspired spins on the original fairy tales. Ever diversity plays a part in the casting of these far out characters. I love how after each tale the composers give not the Disney versions of the tales but the original fairy tales’ descriptions.

It was so fun but different from the real thing it was a cool book princess to super heroes

A fun, sci-fi retailing of classic fairytales.

[Angela Hahn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fun modern retellings of fairy tales with a twist! I also appreciate that they elaborate on the parallels after each story and recite the traditional tale for comparison. Great artwork!
