» RAPUNZEL «
★★★☆☆
Okay, kinda plain.

» CINDERELLA «
★★★☆☆
Ouch, my feet hurt.

» LITTLE RED-CAP «
★★★☆☆
Ew, what was that cutting up of the wolf.

» LITTLE BRIAR-ROSE «
★★☆☆☆
Lol, the part with the guy was kinda randomly funny.

» LITTLE SNOW-WHITE «
★★★★☆
Alexa play "jealousy, jealousy" by Olivia Rodrigo. Also, "Goldilocks" vibes and these guys really don't know how to kill people. You'd think after several attempts, you'd check for life or make sure your methods are . Lol, just stab her. Also that ending was so random.

» RUMPELSTILSKIN «
★★☆☆☆
I'm gonna be honest, I only listened to this audiobook for Jim Dale. Clap and a half for his performance.

On a different note, in elementary school I had to do mock trial with this story and I was on Rumplestilskin's defense. That was the day I started to defend villains, and now I'm a terrible person.

» THE SHOES THAT WERE DANCED TO PIECES «
★★☆☆☆
Honestly, I don't know what this story was about.

» A RIDDLING TALE «
★★☆☆☆
This was so short. Also, it was literally just a riddle, not a story/tale.

» THE TWELVE BROTHERS «
★★☆☆☆
Well that was a rollercoaster.

» THE WHITE SNAKE «
★★☆☆☆
What is with stories that are basically finding needles in haystacks?

» THE ELVES «
★★★☆☆
"The Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs" vibes, but happier.

» THE SIX SWANS «
★★☆☆☆
This was the same story as "The Twelve Brothers," but with a different set up.

» THE TWELVE HUNTSMAN «
★★☆☆☆
"The Princess and the Pea" vibes. What was that key analogy lol.

» THE GOOSE-GIRL «
★★☆☆☆
What. Why did she let herself get walked over like that.

» SWEET PORRIDGE «
★★☆☆☆
What. Lol.

» THE GOLDEN GOOSE «
★★☆☆☆
Uhh... I don't know what happened here.

» EVE'S VARIOUS CHILDREN «
★★☆☆☆
Um... some of the children got WAY better deals.

» SNOW-WHITE AND ROSE-RED «
★★☆☆☆
Okay.

» THE FROG-KING, OR IRON HENRY «
★★★☆☆
That princess, what a baby... and a bitch. You made a deal. The king was right. On another note, what was with Henry? Why was he in the story? What was the reason?

» THE SEA-HARE «
★★☆☆☆
Damn. This was very similar to "The White Snake."

» HANSEL AND GRETEL «
★★★☆☆
That is one bad mom. But this version of Hansel and Gretel were smarter... at first. But this story really relies on stupid people.
