I love books that are fairy tales told in a different way. This book involves not one fairy tale, but four. It is also about lands where many fairy tales are told and every tale told will always have a happy ending. What does it do to people to know that everything will always turn out happy? What happens to the people when the spell put upon them to ensure everything ends in happiness breaks, and it turns out it was a curse not a blessing?

This is a great book and a great adventure. It also helps you wonder about the damage that can be done when everything always goes right. A great read for everyone. I highly recommend it.
