Once More Upon A Time
Once More Upon A Time | Roshani Chokshi
7 posts | 8 read | 4 to read
A dazzling fairy tale about falling in love again by The New York Times best-selling author of The Star-Touched Queen and The Gilded Wolves.
Once upon a Time, there was a king and queen in a land called Love's Keep who once loved one another, but alas, no more. Without love, they were doomed to be ousted from their kingdom at the end of a year and a day.
A year and a day passed.
This is where their story starts.
Imelda and Ambrose can't remember why they got married. A year and a day ago, Ambrose consulted a witch, trading their love to save Imelda's life—and they've been stuck with one another ever since. When that same witch pays them a visit on the day they lose their kingdom, she promises to make their deepest wishes come true in exchange for a simple favor and a short journey. With nothing left to lose, Imelda and Ambrose agree. But, over the course of their enchanted road trip peppered with a delirious cloak, cannibals, and at least one honey badger, something magical happens...little by little, step by step, they regain what they had forgotten.
They remember why they fell in love.
When the end of their journey nears and they confront parting ways forever, a new decision faces them. Will Imelda and Ambrose choose their deepest wishes, or will they choose each other—again?

This is a sweet novella about misunderstandings and how people can defy expectations. I also enjoyed the second chance for love storyline.
12 dancing princesses must deal with their father‘s extreme need to protect them, and one must try to find love when she thought she has lost all chance at it.
3.5/5 stars read for a fun retelling and for a fairy godmother who quite enjoys telling a good tale.

This was just a little too short so the characters couldn't be fully developed. I loved the world and would have liked to spend more time there.

This is a mash up of a few partial fairy tales to make one wholly new one. It's light, and amusing, and charming.
