{my thoughts} - This diary is written by {prince charming}. It is about his love for {snow white} and his quest to save her from her imprisonment with {rapunzel}. In his quest to rescue her he encounters a few other beloved characters from previous diaries. It ends with a twist I wasn't quite expecting but find to be poetic all in the same. It was a very enjoyable read.
{reason for reading} - I had decided to do the 6 pack download on Amazon so that I could read them all after reading the first one. I don't regret my choice. Very well written and interesting.

probably the most intriguing prequel yet. Not because it's rewrites what we already know of a fairy tale.
but because it answers many of the questions I had
and now we've met Jack, Rapunzel and Marmalade (Little Mermaid) and know the story of Prince Charming.
We also learn why apples are read AND possibly one of the quests of a main character.
just one more story to go!

No rating because by this point I was just reading to complete the first six. All the characters in the group of six prequels had the same voice. The new take on the tales was intriguing, but I got bored, sorry to say.

Much better than Mary, Mary Quite Contrary. The prequels are starting to come together now. But with every introduction of "new" characters, I feel like it's one step forward, two steps back. I might have to reread everything.

I liked Jack and Marmelade pretty much, they're so cute together.
Prince Charming was little annoying, and story is very similiar like Romeo and Juliet
Still, can't wait to full book

(Free book from Kindle store.)Pretty much everything I have disliked about the other prequels holds true for this one as well. I was happy when Rapunzel showed up (finally an actual Grimm character is a series supposedly dedicated to Grimm stories). Although Jack also appears (the one with the beanstalk) and allusions are made to Adam and Eve as well as Romeo and Juliet (or Pyramus and Thisbe if you prefer), it was refreshing to see that the whole Grimm concept was not completely lost in the need to incorporate any and all characters related to myths and fairy tales.Decent story. Not so good writing. Also, I am disappointed that Jace continues to pair off all of the characters in awkward relationships that come off as juvenile due to poorly written dialogue. Jack and Marmalade both seemed ridiculous, as have all of the other fairy tale couples in the series. I have reached the end of the free Kindle prequels so I am officially done with the series and not too disappointed in this fact. As with the other books, great idea for a story with writing that just doesn't pull through.

Blood apples rappresenta il sesto prequel dei Grimm diaries di Cameron Jace.
La storia questa volta è raccontata dal Principe Azzurro, alla disperata ricerca di un modo per liberare la sua amata Snow White dalla torre in cui è stata rinchiusa a causa della sua particolare natura.
Il Principe riceve presto l'aiuto di Jack, che, grazie ai semi di fagioli magici e all'aiuto di una sirena, riesce a portare via dalla torre Snow White, nonostante questa sia controllata da Rapunzel...
Blood apples sembra fare parecchi passi indietro rispetto al prequel precedente, Mary Mary quite contrary.
La storia è di nuovo piuttosto confusa, così come i dialoghi, alquanto improbabili. La descrizione da parte di Jack della mela d'oro è prolissa e alla fine inutile; il personaggio della sirena lascia piuttosto perplessi; Rapunzel, che pare l'unico elemento interessante, viene marginalizzata al punto che non sappiamo nulla di lei.
Il fatto che il narratore sia il Principe Azzurro è interessante e abbastanza originale, ma il racconto risulta alla fine presuntuoso - vengono tirati in ballo anche Adamo ed Eva e Romeo e Giulietta di Shakespeare -.
Il finale dovrebbe essere sorprendente, ma è così piatto e mal scritto che peggio non si potrebbe.

Prince Charmings telling of what really happened when Snow White was separated from him. All the characters are involved in this prequel.
I was a little confused, perhaps because I jumped in at #6 but there were so many characters I found myself distracted and trying to recall where each character was from. I think I need to go back and start from #1 to really get a feel for this story and made the mistake jumping in midway through.
