This has to be the best one in the series.

"....I've been robbed!" "What?" Her father put her down so that he could place his fists on his hips and strike a hero's pose. He might be a middle-aged king now, but he had once been the brave young prince who battled his way into Sleeping Beauty's castle. And he never forgot that."

Similar set up to the other prequels.
This one follows Briar and focuses a lot on her relationship to her brothers.
I love the puns and word play in this series: hexcitment, MirrorChat, spellbinding. Even if the slang terms don't always make sense (why is "hex" used as a positive word?), it is still fun and adds an interesting element to the text.
As with the other prequels, Briar appears less shallow than in the show, which creates an interesting story and a likeable character.

This is one of the short stories in the Ever After High universe that I actually liked. It gave a glimpse into Briar's family and character that you don't necessarily get from the webisodes online or the Ever After High book series itself. The whole concept behind Ever After High is blatantly marketing for the Ever After High doll franchise which is trying to take off and be the next Monster High. I typically like Shannon Hale and her voice but I feel it gets lost in this series.

Her destiny is pretty sad. Also I find the characters having siblings pretty cute especially since we never really see it in the series.
