I'm using this to mark that I read the Emund book. I still need to read the 1-3 books in this series but I've read all the rest.
It's been so long since I returned to this series. I have read all of the series but books 1-3 odd I know but the way the author wrote these books you can skip them and still understand everything going on within them. I was so excited when I found out that Edmund has his own book. He was my favorite character in the Glass Princess books. I always wondered how exactly he ended up in Madra and this book gives you the story on how he and why he came to the kingdom. I loved that we got to see him interact with Estevan before all the craziness that happened in Glass Princess and the Glass Kingdom. We also get to figure out why he set up his own spies in Madra instead of him going back home to his Queen and friends. The writing is so easy to read that I devoured this whole book in just a couple hours. If you haven't read this series you need to asap. I loved it so much and I will be going back and reading books 1-3 and reviewing them here as well.

This series is so good and creative, I flew through this and occasionally go back and reread several passages. The Edmund novella was needed, it was hilarious. Edmund really carried the series lol.
They hook you in from the get-go, enticing, entertaining, short and hilarious at some points.
You don't really have to read them in order, but the characters all merge together. Books 1-3 are Etta, A book focuses on Aurora and Phillip, another book on Amalie (I love her), 2 on Helena and 1 on Edmund.
I kind of wish there were more books in the series, but who knows?

I deeply enjoyed this collection of retellings. The characters are personable and exciting. And the concepts of good and evil are thoroughly discuss a fantasy way.
I love how each story mini series with in the overall series followed the journeys of our favorite characters in helping them with their happy ever after.
