My Review:
These
short novellas were great. They are novellas that give insight to the many
characters that are in Cameron Jace's main series called The Grimm Diaries. The
were written to give us background on all the fairytale characters in the main
series who may not get to tell their story. Many characters are in these books
so sometimes it is hard to remember them all, remember who hates and likes who,
who can do what and especially the times these stories take place in. I
especially like how some of these stories are tied to infamous historical
figures like Elizabeth Bathory. I also like how vampires, werewolves, goblins
and other creatures are woven into the stories. Some of the characters are not
the same characters who you grew up loving, others are not who you think they
are and still others go by many different names so you'll be surprised to find
out that one characters can be many different characters you love.
I liked
most of the novellas, with the exception of a few that were just ok. I have a
few favorites and they are mostly about Red Riding Hood and Snow Whites mother
who is called the Queen of Sorrow, with an exception of one or two. I have to say my favorite character, from the prequel series anyway, is Red Riding Hood.
The
titles that are my favorite are:
Snow White Blood Red
Ladle Rat Rotten Hut
Mary Mary Quite Contrary
Moon and Madly
Jawigi
Happy Valentine’s Slay
Children of Hamlin
Jar of Hearts
Now that I read the prequel series I'm excited to read the main series. I also heard that Cameron Jace is going to write a series that's all about Red Riding Hood and I really hope he does because I'll read it straight away.
