Fairy Tale Christmas - Michael McLean, Scott McLean
Read this one to the boy for bedtime the last couple nights. Wasted both of our time.

OMG this story.

This was so tedious. The Clandestines aka the bad guys are so stereotyped. The good guys are so stereotyped. I get that this is for young readers, but really? It's like there was not thought put into this at all. All the characters are one-dimensional.

I only read one short story of the Ever After High series and can already tell that it is far superior as far as fairy tale rewrites go.

And that ending where everyone is all hugging and getting along.

Even the kiddo thought it was dumb.

These 150 pages = 3 nights of my life that I will never get back.
