"At the grand Legacy Day ceremony that fall, Briar would sign the Storybook of Legends and magically bind herself to be the next Sleeping Beauty." The six free drabbles (of which this is the third) all focus on a character entering their second year at a fairy tale high school and taking over their parent's fairy tale, somehow. I'm not sure how it's supposed to work, but I'm definitely intrigued.

Didn't like Briar much at the begining because her interest in fashion seemed so superficial, she turned out be a nice girl at the end though. Beeing Sleeping Beauty's daughter she kept falling asleep at random which was funny.

This is a short little story about Briar Beauty and what her life is like outside of Ever After High. This was one of the silly ones, her castle has zip lines all over and there are pillows everywhere incase her or her mother go to sleep. They both will randomly fall asleep and Briar has to sometimes fish her mother out of the porridge. Her father is a one of those who rushes off at the drop of a hat to rescue or save someone. So he isn’t really any help in the whole, me and my mother are narcoleptics. Slightly silly and absurd this one is probably the weakest of the set, but it was free and if you like the idea of these books you will enjoy this glimpse into the life of Briar.

"....I've been robbed!" "What?" Her father put her down so that he could place his fists on his hips and strike a hero's pose. He might be a middle-aged king now, but he had once been the brave young prince who battled his way into Sleeping Beauty's castle. And he never forgot that."

Similar set up to the other prequels.
This one follows Briar and focuses a lot on her relationship to her brothers.
I love the puns and word play in this series: hexcitment, MirrorChat, spellbinding. Even if the slang terms don't always make sense (why is "hex" used as a positive word?), it is still fun and adds an interesting element to the text.
As with the other prequels, Briar appears less shallow than in the show, which creates an interesting story and a likeable character.
