pretty good

it was alright. Had some twists and turns and defiantly good for a younger crowd. performance was alright. Will finish the series due to decent story line/ interesting take.

Great story, terrible narrator

I enjoyed the story & wanted to continue to see what happened. It was creative & fun! The narrator was not bad enough to make me stop but her inflections were off sometimes, her characters were not defined enough, & her cadence was annoying at times.

Fine I guess

It was OK, but I found myself not really being able to get into the story. I wasn't a huge fan of the narrator. Her inflection at the end of sentences was just not something I could get used to and it took away from the story.

Reimagined World

The story is interesting enough, and I'm thinking now that the initial introduction of the fairy tale characters has occurred the next books might get better. There are the fairy tale characters we know, but their situations are different/altered, and it's interesting to find out their "stories" so I was guessing who was who throughout. There is magic, time travel, lots of adventure fighting for their lives and murder, and a cutesy crush/love story. The twist at the end makes me reconsider who are the heros and villains and am curious to see if this series improves. It's a light, short, no commitment listen, but it is simple/straight forward writing (he said, she said, etc.) and basic narrating. It doesn't wow you but is interesting enough to experience a newly imagined creative take on interconnecting fairy tales.

It was ok.

Good layout, good putting it together just not what I expected myself personal feelings, but it was a good book.

Just the story, performance could have been better.

The story was ok, but it just lacked character and the narrator could have done a better job at keeping the audience engaged, it was mainly monotone.

Interesting..

It was a unique spin on classics we all know & love. It is written with a younger audience in mind. But it is a fun read.

Enough good parts to keep me listening…..

The writing seems like it could be pretty good, but it’s difficult to tell through the largely monotone narration. There are definitely some portions with good “scenes”. The narrator tries to do some voices, which helps a little but it’s difficult to listen to.

okay

a friend recommended this. honestly there's too much going on. it's cluttered and I found myself looking forward to it ending. still, a good idea for a story.

Queen of snow

I really enjoyed reading Queen of snow and will be starting the next book today! great job.
