Once more upon a time is the story of Ambrose and Imelda and their adventures after being kicked out of their kingdom a year after a witch took their love away. When I first heard about this book, I was intrigued with the fairytale aspect of it all and thought it would be a quick read, but unfortunately this book fell flat for me. This book didn't hooked me until the last 20 pages and I never wanted to pick it up. I liked the writing, but I didn't like any of the characters. I think I expected more development from them than what this book gave. This book reads like a quick fairytale, It's just wasn't for me.
Thank you Netgalley, for a copy of this book!

I don’t know what to say.
Honestly, I was so excited to read this book and thought that I was gonna like it, but I did not.
I did not like the writing. The pace and the characters which honestly didn’t have ANY presence at all.
I was bored throughout the book but pushed it through because I thought there would be a twist or whatsoever and I’ll enjoy it but still no.

I didn't really have any expectations going into this book, but I was very pleasantly surprised with how much I ended up loving this book! This was such a cute and quick read and I loved the premise of this story. I also really loved the tone of this book with how comical and witty the narrator was, along with how witty and sassy both of our main characters were. The fairytale setting was very whimsical and I loved how many fairytales and fairytale elements where woven into this story.
This was the perfect quick and fun read as a little palette cleanser and cheer up in between heavier reads.
