Contains Sweep 1 - 5: This series looks like another interesting story by Kyousuke Motomi. I enjoyed this volume and like the characters involved and am looking forward to reading what happens in the next volume.

Volume Contains Chapters 25 - 28: This volume was really interesting and I enjoyed the time that Asahi spent with her family but am looking forward to seeing her relationship grow with the Water Dragon God and seeing how his character will continue to develop. I look forward to seeing what happens next in the story.

This is the second book in the newest duet of this series and I loved getting to know Amity & Marshall after meeting them in the first book Double Take. This was a really fun story and I enjoyed seeing how the two of them got to know one another and how their relationship developed. The epilogue at the end was also really sweet. I look forward to reading more by this author in the future including any future books in this series if it continues.

I was really glad to get to read more about Tabitha and Tom (AKA: Prince Leopold / Leo / Tam'lin) after getting to know them a bit in The Shoeless Prince: A Puss in Boots Retelling. This is my first Retelling of Tam'lin and I thought it was an enjoyable story overall and it was also interesting to see The Little Match Girl & Hansel and Gretel touched upon in this story. The epilogue at the end was also really good. I look forward to read more stories from both the Borderland Fairytale series in the future.

I really enjoyed this new adult Retelling of Sleeping Beauty. This book is full of adventure and has some really great characters and an interesting storyline. I enjoyed how in this story it is the prince who is cursed instead and seeing how the relationship between Roran & Brie slowly evolves as the two of them get to know each other during their quest to save their realms. This book is part of the Fairy Tales of Gallia series but can be read as a standalone.

This was an interesting Retelling of Cinderella and I liked that the stepsisters were not villains and had a chance to redeem themselves from previous mistreatment towards Cinders when they were younger. I enjoyed getting to know Cynthia "Cinders" Everwood and Prince Marius Rivenborn and thought they were a good couple and was glad to see how things worked out for them.

This was a great Retelling of Snow White with some appearances of characters from the previous book but is a standalone story. I loved getting to know Korrin & Tessa in this story and the seven orphaned adyani pups that Tessa had taken in were all so cute, I loved whenever they made an appearance. I am looking forward to reading the next book Alien Charming about Seren & Elli and am also hopeful that we might get to see more of Malrik in another future book as I feel his character has potential for a Beauty and the Beast retelling.

This was a really fun Retelling of Beauty and the Beast and I loved reading about Beatrice & Lord Alexander Dunham as well as Rose (Alexander's pet Kitten / Dragon), she was so adorable. All the characters in this story were a lot of fun and I enjoyed seeing how everything came together in the end. This story can be read as a standalone (I haven't read Once Upon An Apple or Once Upon A Cake yet) but does have characters from previous books so I am sure it adds another level of enjoyment if you have read previous books. I am also looking forward to reading more about Dietrich in the next book Once Upon A Pumpkin: A Cozy Fantasy Cinderella Retelling as well as learning about the girl he met that moved next door to his mother.

Chapters 56 - 60: I am really enjoying this series and how all the characters and the storyline are developing. This volume is the start of a new story arc involving Shirayuki and Ryu being transferred to Lilias to work as researchers for an extended period. I look forward to seeing how the series continues and seeing what happens next.

This volume also includes an unrelated short story at the end called "Beyond the Drops".

Chapters 40 - 44: The Lilias story arc is concluded in chapter 40 with Zen returning after the cure is found and everyone finishing up their different tasks and getting ready to depart. Chapter 41 was really cute with Zen and Shirayuki getting a chance to spend a day together alone going around town. This volume also let's us get to know Kiki better by showing us some of her past as well as telling us more about her family. The flashbacks about her and Mitsuhide meeting and early days were really fun.

Chapters 35 - 39: I really enjoyed this volume and getting to see more of Prince Izana interacting with Shirayuki in a more casual and less negative manner. I look forward to seeing what happens when Zen gets back to Lilias and joins them.

Chapters 30 - 34: I really enjoyed this volume and appreciated the chance to learn a bit more about Obi and his past. Prince Izana is also becoming a bigger character in the series and I look forward to seeing what happens next.
