Realm of Magic and Shadow: A Romantasy Peter Pan Re-telling by Kenzie Skye

• Plot- or character-driven? Character

4.0

This was another nice addition to this series of Spicy Romantasy Fairy Tales and I thought it was an enjoyable Retelling of Peter Pan. I haven't read many Peter Pan Retellings but this was the first I have read with Peter Pan cast as the hero of the story and I thought it was well done. The epilogue at the end also did a nice job of wrapping up Evie and Pan's story.

Roses Of Regret by Laura Greenwood

This was a quick and sweet Retelling of Snow White and Rose Red and another fun addition to the Grimm Academy series. I enjoyed getting to know Rose and Gavrel in this story as well as Rose's twin sister Blanche. I haven't read all the books in this series from before this one yet and look forward to reading more of this series in the future.

5.0

 This was my first book by Celeste Baxendell and I really enjoyed this Retelling of Robin Hood. The characters were all so well written and had layers to their personalities that made them seem real and I enjoyed seeing how the relationship between Robin and Prince John evolved as they both got to know each other as well as how they developed as individual characters as the story progressed. The epilogue at the end was also really fun and I plan to look into reading more by this author in the future.
