Happily Ever Afters: A Reimagining of Snow White and Rose Red by Melanie Cellier

While all the books in this series can stand alone, this one has more depth if you read Ava's story first. Because this story is a novella, you benefit from the character development in the preceding book. I enjoyed seeing these two side characters get their own HAEs.

It was a cute, fast paced read. I didn't really see any reference to Snow White. (Also I haven't heard of the story Rose Red before so I don't know if this novella made any reference to the original story) All in all, it was a fun read.

I love being able to follow the "other" characters and learning how their stories play out, which is exactly what Cellier gave us. Despite it being a short, in-between book of the series, it was jam packed with action, romance, betrayal, and love. I really enjoyed the differing viewpoints, especially when describing the same or overlapping events because it just shows how different people's perspectives vary and shape their outlook.

I'm really, absolutely, totally, completely in love with this series! Deep down, not even that well hidden but still, I'm a little princess and this series is filled with all different types of princesses and love stories. It's impossible not to connect with at least, if not more, one character and it's even more impossible to finish those books without smiling.

This book is only a novella. Therefore the love happens quite instantly, but is still just as cute and just as endearing as both the love stories in the previous books. And just like the previous two books this is not JUST a love story. It's mixed with an intriguing plot involving politics, magic, epic sword fighting and intelligent battles.

In this book we follow not one, but two girls finding their loves and battling for their kingdom. In a way they can't be more different, but in a way they're also very much alike. They're both brave, they're both fierce and they're both strong. I really enjoyed being in their heads, even though it was only relatively short and I'm glad that they too found that happily ever after!

I can't wait to read the next story in this series and to get to know our next princess longing for just a little bit of love!
