Corrupted Enchantment: When Fairy Tales Collide by [Penticoff, C.]Corrupted Enchantment: When Fairy Tales Collide by C. Penticoff
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 An interesting blending of tales

 First off, I loved the character of Robin Hood! I loved the classic character reimagined as a young girl. There were all sorts of fairytales in this book Everything from Rumplestilskin to Alice in Wonderland. I loved those parts.

 However, the political undercurrent was a little on the nose for my tastes (Rump running for president) and while I know social and political issues need addressing in literature, I found them a bit distracting. It made me feel a bit like I was watching the news, not reading a novel. Now, some readers will love that aspect, I’m just not the target for that particular story.

 Outside of the politics, there was some classic good versus evil moments, some fun character cameos, and a great ‘save the world’ aspect.

 I’m also wondering if there will be a sequel because there are plenty of characters that I’d love to get to know better!

I’m a ways away from publishing. Editing takes time and concentration. Those two things don’t always exist in the same space. I’m making an attempt to do it all, be a mother and a writer. Some days are better than others. Currently, I’m piecing together chapter ten, out of twenty eight. When I’m not writing, or editing, or actively wrangling children, I read & review. A majority of what I’ve been reading has been independently published, or published through small press. I’ve made some pretty awesome connections, over the last couple of years! I’m learning by watching what these more experienced writers do. I love that they take the time to interact with their readers. I hope to be as inspiring as they are, some day. So why am I presenting myself to the world as a writer, before there’s ...
