I find it amusing that, in spite of all the princes available from the fairy tales, the only drabble featuring a male is about the son of the Hunstman from "Snow White" and "Little Red Riding Hood." I also legitimately laughed so hard it hurt when I read this: "... they enacted the Hunstman-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." Yes, in order to "save the day" a Huntsman must be shirtless. Awesomely hilarious! Oh, and he is vegetarian and regularly sabotages his dad's hunting traps.

Aww, that was sweet. A huntsman's son who doesn't want to kill/hunt or eat animals. Funny and sweet and I'd be interested to find out about how he breaks these news to his family.

This short story is an edition to the Ever After High series. Since this was a free download I really didn’t mind its brevity. I think that all these little stories are fun and insightful. Hunter Huntsman isn’t really a character that we get a lot of information on in the first book so having this little blurb about him, his life, and how he views his destiny as a hunter is nice. I do find it interesting how Hunter is a vegetarian and introduces that as something that he worries his parents might not understand. Even though I am not a veggie it is nice to know that the author is trying to offer a character to children who feels the same as they do. Overall a fun little story and one that gives you a taste of how the series is written.

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.

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.
