I preferred the first book in the series, but this one was necessary to tie up the loose ends. ( )

Wonderful conclusion to a wonderful tale.

And really, there's no such thing as perfect moment, except the one that you are in... ( )

Page 136. That's when I finally was interested! Meandering little tale. I only kept reading it because I didn't have time to find anything else. ( )

I'm just charmed by anything Baker writes. For a better review, read Heidi's:

I'll just say that I loved the hidden references to other stories. Sure, everyone knows Cinderella, but did you catch that The Dark Forest was only a hundred acres..."?

I appreciated lots of interesting and careful details. For example, Dog is female, and Cat is male - un-stereotypically refreshing.

And now I'm off to look for #3, and to look for the authors unknown to me that Baker acknowledged in the author's note: [a:Robert Southey|107344|Robert Southey|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1206847224p2/107344.jpg] and [a:James Orchard Halliwell-Phillipps|4485158|James Orchard Halliwell-Phillipps|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-ccc56e79bcc2db9e6cdcd450a4940d46.png]."

More fun fairytales all tied together in a cuts package. ( )
