I'm not sure which fairy tale was supposed to be represented in this book. Not the worst thing, because it was quite adventurous and revealed a lot of little secrets that had been hanging out in the background. I saw a lot of more of Madame and learned more about who (and what) she may be as her daughters unravel some of her plans. I was very hesitant about this series after the first book, but I'm glad I've stuck with it as they are getting better each time, and the story is getting very intriguing. It really doesn't hurt that the animals are super cute.
