I think there was a little more romance in this one than the others. Nothing overt, but it was there. I really enjoyed this story. I wasn't sure what the Tradition was going for: Little Red Riding Hood or Beauty and the Beast. I don't think the Tradition knew either. It was funny that it wanted Bell...
My impression of this book is controversial. As a retelling of a fairy tale or a famous Disney cartoon, it’s not bad, although the beginning is slow, with flat, tired writing and loads of dry exposition. The story picks up, when the protagonist Bella finally meets the werewolf and the action kicks o...
This one was actually quite fun. A very different take on Beauty and the Beast, with Red Riding Hood thrown in for good measure. A little predictable outcome, but over all, I quite enjoyed the read.
It seems like no tale of the 500 Kingdom's will top the first book (The Fairy Godmother) as it looks like every heroine is just a carbon copy of Elena.

3.5 out of 5.Mercedes Lackey is an author that is evidently growing better and better with age and output. I've read her novels since I first started getting into reading a lot of fantasy as a genre at about age 13, and this most recent foray into her splendid imagination was even better than my fir...
Reviewed by: Rabid ReadsFantasy used to be my genre of choice before I discovered the Urban offshoot. The werewolf story line and having enjoyed books by Mercedes Lackey in the past were the tipping points for my decision to revisit this type of novel. There's definitely nothing modern about this ta...
