Incredible retelling of classic fairytales!

the performance was excellent and though the stories had predictable endings, they were incredibly well thought out and delved deeper than I could imagine into classic fairy tales.

Captivating

Driving across Canada this was a great listen. No awkward or dragging moments in the books. Highly recommend this series.

Beautiful and exciting

man do I wish things like this existed in real life 🥰. Each book was exhilarating and unique even though they have a completely different direction from the originals. they even teach you things that most of this century's generations don't seem to be able to understand and follow. I'll definitely be listening to these over and over 😍😍

Enjoyable listen

I was looking for something to listen to before sleeping and this set of tales was perfect. I have been a life-long lover of fairytales and it was interesting to hear some re-imagined or with more depth in the backstory. I really noticed in the last tale that the princess narrator verbalized her 'lessons' (i.e. 'I acted without thinking and there were consequences for both me and others. This time I will think first.'). It made me think that these would be positive tales for younger people as well. Not preachy, but could definitely see a thought-progression.

The only thing I didn't like was the verbalization of the male voices by the female narrator. Made me want to clear my throat. Must be difficult to come up with all of the different voices though.

My favourite in all the Four Kingdom Series

Fantastic fairytale retelling stories - specifically the first 2 stories in this collection (the ones about Princess Lily & Princess Sophie). I have completed both Four Kingdom Collection Series and both Beyond Four Kingdom Series and this one is the standout. It's the one I could see myself listening to again.
