"The Stepsister Scheme" is one of the few books recently that I've stayed up until the early hours to finish. It was a lot of fun. It was quirky, original, not afraid to handle dark themes but ultimately powered by selfless bravery and optimism. "The Stepsister Scheme" tells the tale of three Prin...
This book was awesome. It was such a great take on fairytales. It stays true to the original and slightly disturbing versions of fairytales. Most fairytale retellings stick to the more kid friendly versions, but the original versions are so much more interesting to me. It was such an entertainin...
And they all lived happily ever after... Or did they? What happens after we close the story books and leave the princes and princesses to the rest of their lives? Danielle Whiteshore, popularly known as Cinderella, is having some trouble adjusting to life as a royal, having been treated no better th...
While I'd had The Stepsister Scheme on my radar for while now, it was only because ofJim C. Hines social presence that I finally decided to give it a try. Whether he's poking fun at fantasy cover poses, talking about important topics like depression anddiversity, or demonstrating the absurdity ofsad...
I am really not sure why I did not read anything by Jim Hines till very recently. I heard that he is good and I really should have believed that earlier than I did. This is the first book of the four book series (completed at this point). I love fairy tales retellings and would have tried it even ...
Very enjoyable girl power take on classic characters. This isn't a retelling, but the continuing adventures of Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty as they become powerful warriors and witches after their own stories end. I'm not sure if I would classify it as YA, though I see it on a lot o...

She, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty go on a quest to get him back.Much of the fairy tale stuff felt a bit too familiar (Cinderella unsure of herself as a princess instead of a s...
What happens when Cinderella marries? The afterwards is never mentioned. What if her sisters decided to take revenge? Sleeping Beauty and Snow White join forces when Cinderella's husband is kidnapped. It's a fun read, nothing to rock the world too hard but fun all the same.
Such a fun book! It's been a while since I've read fantasy, so it was nice to dip my toes back in.The characters are lovely twists on Grimm-style fairy tales - for example, Danielle (Cinderella)'s step-sisters had parts of their feet cut off to try and fit into the glass slipper as it is in the fair...
