Great collection of short twisted and alternative fairy tales! I especially loved the inclusion and representation of ethnic minorities in a genre notorious for being white-washed and patriarchal.

The first stories have fantastic messages and beautiful character development. Whereas the last two stories have obscure messages and no characters I found to have any redeeming qualities. This also shows how well written the book is that it can make me angry at an entire set of characters in a short story. My main dislike about this book was the fact that you wouldn’t be able to use much within primary school.

Lu tries to win the hand of the princess (just like the ugly step-sisters try to win over the prince), however it is Chi who wins the princess’s affections in the end.
