A review by 100pagesaday
Happily Never After by Isabella Fontaine, Ken Brosky
4.0
200 years ago the Grimm Brothers brought their characters to life, destined to repeat their stories. The characters have integrated throughout society, but have become more corrupted throughout time. Alice has emerged as the hero, the one that can return the characters to their pages with the help of the Briar Rabbit. Now that Alice has gotten the hang of the hero business a little better, she has her next targets in her sights, Cinderella and one of the pesky seven dwarfs. Only, it seems that she is not the only one doing the hunting this time.
You will definitely have to read Episode #1 in order to be drawn in to this series and understand what is going on here. Happily Never After picks up shortly after Prince Charming Must Die. There is a little more action in this episode since Alice returns several characters to their rightful places, some more easily than others. She is growing and becoming more confident in her role, but she still has a ways to go. I was very pleased that there was a chapter from the Briar Rabbit's point of view, he is a wonderful character and always has something up his sleeve. The best part of this episode for me was when Alice was attempting to dispatch some shape-shifting siblings. Now, I really want to go back and read the original of that fairy tale. Another quick read in the Grimm Chronicles series, up next is Revenge of the Castle Cats.
This book is free on Kindle Unlimited if you want to check it out!
