Praise for this book
I have read many of David Carl's stories, and I have never been disappointed. His writing is highly entertaining, innovative, and quite often contains a nice dash of humor. This particular collection has some wonderfully funny parts!
What I love most about this author's writing is his ability to reveal something about humanity even when he is talking about magical creatures. If you enjoy high fantasy and want to see it spun on its head in the best way, definitely check this collection out!
I’ve enjoyed all of the books by David Carl. I think this one might be my favorite so far. I’m a sucker for fairytales and I really enjoyed this author’s take on them - some were hysterical while others were heartfelt and touching. Each gave a unique, creative and interesting take on the fairytale genre.
