I'm sorry I have been remiss in publishing reviews. We have had a busier summer than we anticipated, but in a good way. While it is not a book review, I wanted to mention to my curious readers about a series I have recently started watching on NetFlix. If you haven't seen Once Upon a Time and love fairy tale retellings, it's a must see.
The plot has a lot of layers, even from the beginning of the series. It hooks you, steadily drawing you into this world. You see in flashes the fairy tale world of Snow White, Prince Charming, and the Wicked Queen and present day life centering around a young woman named Emma. Emma is drawn to Storybrook, Maine -- a city that seems to have been left behind in time. It is said that the occupants of the town cannot leave and don't know who they are...well, were, before The Curse. Every person there is/was a character from fairy tales. You follow Emma as she tries to disprove this theory and find out "what's really going on" in this small town. It's a smart twist. I'm still in the beginning of the series and will post the occasional update as the storyline progresses.
