So you remember Friday, right? I mean, I know it was a loooong time ago. But at least try to remember just a little back…. So if you have remembered right then you remember a blog tour and a guest post. The Blog Tour didn’t end there! Nope. So today, the tour is taking another stop here to hear out my review for Tales of Ever After. A review which I have been sorta eager to do. Seeing I finished the book the other day. On a side note, is this ^ book not beautiful? It's beautiful. And the title.... so good! I really like this photo, it's crystal clearness, it's colors, it black background, its---ON TO THE BOOK! Let’s get one thing straight, I don’t really like Fairy tales. WAIT, kindly HOLD your gasps for a moment. In short, a lot of my disliking for Fairy tales are because the majority of them are about romance. I DON’T like romance. Now you may gasp. . . . . . . . . . . . . Done? Good, let’s move on to the review. What? No I’m not going to explain myself, not yet anyway, that subject above is a whoooole ‘nother post. Despite my disliking, I came into the Tales of Ever After fairly open minded (actually to be honest I didn’t pay attention to what sort of mind I was in, hmm). All I remember thinking was, “a new book! I MUST READZ! So yeah, I started to read it right away, it was interesting, there were a lot of different takes on Fairytales (some that I knew and some that I didn’t). Out of the kazillion stories in there, my all time favorite was “Believing Fairytales”. Maybe because it didn’t have any romance in it, maybe because it had an actual WOW twist. Maybe because of the dialogue. I don’t know, but it was awesome. Seriously. WOW. Basically it’s about a boy called Nester who lives in some sort of Shrine (I wasn’t too sure about this in the beginning). This boy apparently has a dark past and has been trying to amend for it. His only friend and companion is a goblin. It’s one of those wonderful relationships where they both act like they dislike each other and would rather the other not there but actually care a lot about each other. So then there are villains and knives and snarky dialogue.... Lot’s and lot’s of quotable dialogue (maybe that’s why I liked it so much) And I quote: (There were others...but I can’t say them cause they are kinda spoilers and for some odd reason I’m not allowed to give spoilers, hmf.) So there ya have it! I would really love to spoil y’all….but apparently that wouldn’t be healthy for you, so know I refrain from spoiling you for your own good. “Third Princess” made me smile, it was my second favorite, here’s a quote: I would recommend Tales of Ever After for an older age level (15 and up) because there is a lot of kissing, like in almost every story. Nothing really descriptive or anything. But completely unnecessary in my opinion. And in the story “Being Seen” there is a part where the girl who is invisible does walk around naked, but it’s not really described. So yup, those are my thoughts on the book, if you enjoy fairy tales then this is a book you’d definitely want to pick up!
