Great

Wow this is so great I love this book. I listen to it over and over it’s so good it’s got to be the best book 📚 ever

This book was freaking epic!!!

Every book gets better and better! I love them tons! I'm eager to read more! :D

I LOVE this series.

It's so cute, perfect since I love retellings. And this series weaves so many fairytales together beautifully. Even several lesser known stories that children probably won't recognize.

This set is best enjoyed in sequence though. Otherwise you won't know the characters backstories. Only a few new characters in this one. So definitely start with book one when most of the princes first appear.

However each book is a stand alone. You get a full story. No cliffhangers forcing you to wait impatiently for the next book. I hope they continue to add the rest of the set since I haven't read the two newest.

"AW! Is it the last one?!?"

No, my dear, there's one more.
Just one?!? (she packs a lot of energy into her wails considering it's bedtime)
She sighs.
That's okay. We can just read them again.

We started our Audible journey with a narrator who set the bar really, really, *really* high. Her favorite series is narrated by two performers, and she refuses to listen to one of them. My choosy listener was unenthused when I told her we were going to listen to at least one full chapter before she could axe this series, and by then we were both hooked.

Emily Bauer is a talented narrator. Her character voices don't sound like they're being voiced by different performers, but when someone is talking, you have a clear idea who it is from the pitch and intonation of Ms. Bauer's voice. Princess Annie and Prince Liam sound like themselves to us at this point, their characterization is solid. Ms. Bauer's voice is pleasant to listen to (pitch and timbre) and she's a good narrator, even when there's no dialogue her narration is engaging.

The story is also enjoyable. We listen at bedtime, and I find myself saying "okay, just one more section" far too often. That said, if it's the end of a chapter, we're okay with not resetting the sleep timer.

If you're listening to book 3 you're probably already familiar with the series, but in case you landed on the book 3 page first, using the premise that Sleeping Beauty's younger sister (The Wide Awake Princess) is the one to make things happen so that her sister would be woken up before their kingdom falls apart, Princess Annie is a dynamic go getter who makes things happens, while fairy tales happen all around her. Some fairy tales make cameo appearances (the 3 bears in a previous book) others are main characters (Snow White in this book). It's a fun, lighthearted, yet empowering book, fun for all ages.

Delightful!

I absolutely love this book series. Each book has been wonderful. Fun, clean, whimsical, and empowering. I wish there were more book series like this.

Great
