Way too many fairy tale characters
submitted by willow on June 24, 2015, 4:44am
There really isn't a character from a fairy tale that doesn't show up in book. As a consequence, there is entirely too much going on and too many cutesy appearances for this book to really be coherent.
I also doubt this book is interesting to readers under twelve as so much of the plot involves Ursula's search for a mate.
