Frightful Fairytales by Dame Darcy
2.0
I forgot to mark this book when I started to read it, oh well
This book was alright. I picked it up at the library because I like fairy tale retellings, and because I loved the cover design.
The illustrations quickly became bland to me, because everyone looked the same no matter what, dreadfully sad and wailing. Everyone had huge amounts of eyeliner and everyone looked like there neck was broken.
Beyond that the stories ranged from meh to sound and decent. I liked The Black River, which seemed like it was the most well planned story. The other stories were all alright, but nothing jumped out at me. Some of them were outright silly, like the one about the girl in the well where the Author outright tells you the moral of the story.
I cannot tell the motive of the author and while i liked it I kind of feel like it was a pet project and not a passion project. That is just my opinion.
