A combination of all the fairytales into one, add in political intrigue, and a large cast of characters?? AMAZING. An interesting twist on fairytales, set in a world in which all our favorite fairytale lands are combined into one and the histories of them are all mashed up. Filled to the brim with so much interesting fairytale politics as well as blends of cultures. The story focuses on Tala, a girl with a curse of repelling and voiding magic. Her family is given the duty of concealing Prince Alexei of Avalon (that’s right in this world The Royal States of America are joined by Wonderland, Neverland AND Avalon!!) until he is ready to reclaim the throne. Tala is joined by a group of new friends to fight the Snow Queen herself! This is the first book in a series and I can’t wait to see where the story goes in the next book. I enjoyed getting to read about Filipino culture and how the chapter headers foreshadows what happens in each chapter.
