3 stars because it was really too short for anything else. (Kind of like this review.)

To make it worth your while to read these few lines, here's a quote from the story:

"I'll save you!" the father and son cried in unison. Then, as had been Huntsman tradition for hundreds of years, they inacted the Huntsman-To-The-Rescue Move. With shoulders back, chests out, they tore off their shirts, showing that nothing--not even a shirt--could get between them and Saving the Day. The two Huntsmen held the pose while invisible trumpets played a heroic fanfare."

Family bonding at its best.

I'm not sure if these really need an actual review but this was adorable

This one is definitely my favorite prequel so far.
Great set up and connection to the other stories.
I think this one has the best conflict with Hunter's character versus what is expected of him. The whole vegetarianism was an interesting concept.
This is also the most humorous story. I really enjoyed the various Huntsman moves such as the Huntsman-To-The-Rescue move, which includes ripping open one's shirt to prove that "nothing- not even a shirt- could get between them and Saving the Day."
Well-written and very funny.

As the only story about a fairy tale male, I expected to like this book more than I did. I feel its unnecessarily because it is just a retelling of Ashlynn Ella's story and the little romance they touch on in the book is already something that you know from the webisodes online and the Ever After High novel. As a book trailer/preview, I might have liked it better but I read it out of order. I don't even know if I'd say its worth reading if you've already read the novel or seen the episodes.

The ending was pretty cute ngl.

I find it kinda sad to believe that these kids were basically born with their fates, destiny, choices and the person they'd would end up with if there was any planned out and has to follow their parents legacy. Makes me wonder if any of the fairy tale parents only had children so they could pass down their legacy.

I really enjoyed this one. I loved the fact the we finally had a male main character and when I first starting reading all I could think was "he's the one who made the bird house in the woods, in Ashlyyn Ella's story". I hope that something goes wrong with their legacy years where they don't follow in the footsteps of their fairytale parents (I'm sure that's where then story goes) and I hope that hunter and Ashlyyn get to be together.

Outside of the webisodes, I honestly hadnt known much about Hunter.and in the Book of Legends novel he was mostly just slightly mentioned when the plot called for it, he's actually a pretty cool guy though.

I'm honestly kind of curious about how his and Ashlynn's relationship played out, I mean now I/we have how they first saw each other (sorta) but I mean how about after that? How did we get from point A to point B?

Who knows. Cute short story though.
