Would it surprise you if I told you that I read this just because I felt like it? No? Good. That means you know my reading style well! I love Middle Grade, I love fairy tales, and I can't resist anything that has a princess involved, so this book was something perfect for a quick read. I loved the...
Middle grade fantasy in which a young girl ends up becoming the next Baba Yaga. But it’s more complicated and dangerous than that initially sounds. This was an interesting mix of light-hearted and serious, which I think actually works really well for the target audience. I have some small reservati...
The Wide-Awake Princess -- E.D. Baker Book 1 of The Wide-Awake Princess **This book is based on Sleeping Beauty. Hmm…This was really a simple, cute little princess story with a cornucopia of fairy tale tangents strung together as part of our Princess Annabelle’s adventure. It wasn’t exactly t...
When former tooth-fairy-in-training Cory Feathering was stripped of her fairy skills, she discovered that, as the descendent of a cupid, she was born to be a matchmaker, and now her latest job is to find the perfect match for Goldilocks--the only trouble is that he is getting married to someone else...
I haven't read books one to six in this series, and I think it might have helped if I had, although I was still able to understand where the book was heading story-wise. I enjoyed following Audun's quest, as he performed tasks for the dragon king in exchange for being taught how to turn into a human...
I can't decide if the quality of Baker's books have gone drastically downhill or if I've simply outgrown their storylines and writing. I think it's the former, but either way, it's a disappointment. Her last few have been almost painful to read, though this was slightly less so than The Fairy-Tale M...
A very interesting premise based on Russian mythology. Baker takes the cautionary tale of Baba Yaga and spins it into a curse that young Serafina must cope with when she is thrust into the job. She can answer the first question anyone asks of her, but only one. Not only that, doing so causes her to ...
Just to make things clear...this is not a stand alone story. Well I suppose you can read only this volume, but there's more titles in this series. ( I know that sometimes we just want to read something that doesn't have an infinity of never ending stories ahead, so, you're warned that this synopsis ...
This book could have been so awesome. But it wasn't. It was disappointing. First of all, there is zippo character development. And too many characters. All of them felt like cardboard cutouts of people, with no real personalities. I wish the author had focused more on character development (particul...
