Editorial Reviews

Mullin has a curious and refreshing way of telling his stories, and it is one I enjoy deeply. ... One of the best things about the rhyming is that it leads you from sentence to sentence with a nice pace to it. This makes it a wonderfully simple read. It is also very reminiscent of the fairy tales. ... Mullin has a great way of exposing his characters through past events; giving us backstory as we develop that will send tingles down your spine.

Good Book Alert (blog) - Brandon Barney

There’s just something about a story told or wrote in rhyme that I love. But not just any old rhyming tale will do; I need it witty, fun, and clever. Thankfully, Mullin does this well. ... The author did a good job with the twists and bringing everything together. Anyone who can think and write like that has my respect.

Love of Books (blog) - Christy X

This is a twist on traditional fairy tales, told in verse. It is a short and entertaining read. I love twists on other stories and Michael Mullin is very good at them. ... He plays with familiar stereotypes, both in high school and in fantasy, to make something new.
