You have an interesting story started here, and I look forward to reading more. The idea behind it is intriguing and fascinating. Your writing style is easy to read without being simple, and your narration brings up beautiful imagery.

I thought that the wording of "Fairy-Magic" was a bit abrupt compared to witchcraft and alchemy. And you didn't include any of the other magical races, such as elves. Do you mean for your kingdom to have no magical beings beyond fairies?

All in all, a excellent start on an original story, and I'm adding you to Author Alert so that I can read more.

this is good so far! i really like fairy-tale spin offs, but i never find any good ones. this is definately an exception!

Oh good beginning! I love these "true fairy tale" stories. Have you read the books Wicked and Mirror Mirror?(I forget who the author is) Wicked is about the Wizard of Oz and Mirror Mirror is about Snow White. I can't wait to see how Sleeping Beauty will turn out. Keep writing!-L-P.S. thanx for the review!

Thanks so much for your review! I'm in desperate need of reviews for my three stories, so I was *very* glad to see you reviewed one!

Anyway, this looks interesting! I like where this is going - I really do. Lucie is a very likable character. And Pembleton's so funny; I loved her reaction! Keep it up. I look forward to an update!
