Once: Before Midnight; Golden; Wild Orchid by Cameron Dokey
4.0
Before midnight is really three books in one. It features retellings of the popular tales of Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Mulan.
I loved how the author made the stories more believable, while still maintaining a fairy tale quality. I really enjoyed the French twist on the Cinderella retelling (Before Midnight) and the retelling of Mulan (Wild Orchid). The Rapunzel (Golden) retelling was good, but in my opinion was the weakest of the three stories.
It was a very cute and enjoyable read. Some of the more enjoyable fairy tale retellings I've read in a while.
