danadoesbooks 's review for:

Pauper King by E. Stuart Marlowe

Thank you to the author for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

A serial killer is loose in the world of the Brothers Grimm and it is up to Snow White’s father to stop them.

I like reading retellings of classic stories and Pauper King had me hooked from the very beginning. Although not necessary to read the Brothers Grimm fairy tales before Pauper King, you will gain a better appreciation for the elements that Marlowe weaves into his own tale.

There are a few scenes in the book that are too graphic for me, but overall, I like the blend of fairy tale, fantasy, and crime novel that Pauper King has to offer!
