This was such a heartwarming read from start to finish, imbued with adventure and danger at every turn. Once More Upon a Time is riveting, exactly the kind of story I needed to kick off October and bring a smile to my face in the process.

With a story full of wit, magic, and romance, Roshani Chokshi has once again struck a chord deep inside my heart. Ambrose and Imelda may not know what that is, but together they will brave badgers, magical landscapes, and encounters with cannibals to try to restore what was taken from them. One year passes and not much has changed between the two rulers, yet a chance quest arising from the very witch that took away their love offers a possibility to reclaim what they have lost. After one day and one night of marriage, Imelda is poisoned, and the two forfeit the love between them in order to obtain an antidote to save her life. Once upon a time, Prince Ambrose and Princess Imelda fell in love, and that would have been the end of the story if they did not forget. Special thanks to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca for sharing this digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest opinions. I’m giving four careful what you wish for, tribute to Grimm Brothers, fairytales, fables stars! I liked the combination of different fairytales and conclusion of the story but I wish it could be a little longer. I’m stopping right here! The smart, sarcastic cloak of Ambrose is my favorite character at this book!

They’re so close to be ousted from their kingdom.īut the very same witch who cursed them makes an offer they can be both benefited. Their one year and one day long time is about to end.
