A review by sqeeker
The Storybook of Legends by Shannon Hale

2.0

- My daughter found and started watching the Ever After High Netflix series, and I KNEW that I had scene this somewhere else before. I checked it out on Goodreads, and there it is! Shannon Hale wrote Ever After High books. The characters looked weird. My husband even said they looked like Bratz dolls. I went searching, and I found out that the company that made Bratz also make Ever After High dolls, and to market the dolls, they hired Shannon to write some books, and Netflix made a show. Wow! I couldn't resist, I had to at least read the first book.

- The book is pretty different from the Netflix show, but that is to be expected.

- I really liked the whole concept of these characters, and I loved their creative names, but I just couldn't get into it. The idea of these stories based on dolls and what the manufacturer wanted was bugging me. I also think I'm just too old for these stories.

- My daughter loves the Netflix show. She watched all the episodes twice. She'll probably be interested in reading the books in the future. They just weren't for me. I got bored.
