The Forgotten Fairytales
by Angela Parkhurst
Genre: YA Fantasy
Release Date: February 10th 2014
Once upon a
time, seventeen-year-old Norah Hart believed in the lure of fairytales and
happily ever afters. That was before she was forced to live in a fairy tale
nightmare.
A psychotic, couture-clad, shoe obsessed Princess.
A not-so-charming, alcoholic Prince.
A hot Big Bad Wolf that she absolutely cannot fall for—no matter how well he kisses.
If Norah had known she’d be attending a boarding school for the nut job reincarnations of fairy tale characters, she would have insisted on going to Moscow with her father. But getting out isn’t as easy as she thought. Especially once Norah realizes she, too, is a storybook character. An Unknown. The first one in over one hundred years. Soon Norah learns she has the ability to rewrite the stories, putting everyone’s Happily Ever After in jeopardy.
Some princesses will do whatever it takes to protect their endings. Even if it means betraying the one closest to you.

My Review:
I love every book adaptatiom that focuses it story im retelling fairytales because it shows how each writer sees this unforgettable magical stories.
It was an amazing experience getting into the world Angela created because it has the perfect blend of reality and magic. Every character was a mystery wanting to be revealed and the story itself was an adventure with touches of love, faith and sparks of caos.
The main characters were as believable and realistic as you could get from a kind of fantasy book. I quite enjoed them but there were some reminiscents to the Once Upon Time series, which I absolutely love.
All in all, it had the perfect combination of old and new in an utterly delightfully written book. Absolutely recommend it to fairytales fans!!
