Well, this was a long one. Took me about three days to slog my way through it.

The Good
Fun, whimsical storytelling
Luck's obliviousness to the world around him
Adorable, likable characters.
Interesting universe

The Bad
I had no idea what was going on 80% of the time. Things just were... because they were. And stuff happened because it... just happened. It read a lot like a classical fairytale.



Take snow white for instance, why did the queen feed snow white a poisoned apple instead of just downright murdering her and disposing of the body? I have no idea. But it just is.



For me it was a little annoying, I wish things were better explained so I didn't feel so lost, but I can see how someone would like that style of writing.

Mordion... Not the best villain ever. Again, I think a lot of it has to do with the above reason. (view spoiler)

Love Rectangle. this one is just a personal preference, I don't like love shaped anything. I root for the underdog every time and come away disappointed.

Overall, it did have excellent quality of writing and I adore this author. This may not be my favorite kind of story, but it is still a good story!

Sharla Even for a fairytale it got a bit random and abstract at times. And I really like fairytales, that style so I think there were just some places where what was in the authors head didn't get properly conveyed on paper.
