Short but delightful twist on fairytales. Imelda and Ambrose go on a quest for a witch, the same witch who took their love as payment for saving Imelda's life. Can they find love again? Plenty of adventure, banter, and untraditional characters. I loved how they used traditional magical gifts in unconventional ways (like using dresses from a walnut shell as a makeshift tent). Plenty of fun. Highly recommend.
