Half Upon a Time by James Riley
Did not finish book. Stopped at 46%.
So ... at another time (especially when I was younger) I'm sure I would have enjoyed this book. Right now? I'm not feeling it. I'm not the target audience, but I read a lot of YA, this felt even younger, perhaps the whole "fairy tale" theme. I got half way through. Seriously, no complaints about the story or the writing, and even though I feel like it's mostly a timing issue for me, I don't think I'll be coming back to this one.
I picked this up from a LittleFreeLibrary. It looked cute. I can't say the cover/title didn't shout out exactly what it was (like some of those cute cartoon covers that then end up more spicy that a Harlequin with the half-naked couple embracing). I was also able to grab a Kindle copy from the library, but it doesn't look like this is available in audio anywhere. Any book I have to read with my limited "eye" time ... I have to really want to read. This one started to feel like a chore. For me. At this time.
Even with my limited reading and DNF, I'd give this a thumbs up for any kids who expressed an interest in a fun fairytale twist.
