I found the plot a little too much stressed on the issue of being contrary to happy ending. Yes, it is an interesting twist, but... I would like to see much of the prince in distress in the book: the poor one is just a reason for the adventure - he does not seem a real person! There's almost nothing about him in the book: we don't know his character, if he's likable, if he's intelligent... we just know that his princess loves him!
The funny part of the story are the personalities of the three princesses. Their nick names are great and I really liked them. The Mother Queen was also a "tough girl".
The story is nothing special... a quest-style story full of strange characters (like the troll... with a lot of hair!).
It seems to me that the story was a once-upon-a-time-chicklit.

A fun, fantasy read that takes three well know princess charetsr and completely turns them around. Talia(sleeping beauty) is a martial arts master, Snow(Snow White) is a powerful sorceress with many of her mother's gifts, and Daniella(Cinderella) is about to embark on her happily ever after life with her prince.
However, her stepsisters return, having dablled in black magic to call up help to gain their revenge, and kidnap the prince. They take him into fairyland, and Daniella, with help of the Queen's secret service(Talia and Snow) must save him before it's too late...
I loved how this book incorporated several versions of the known and less known variants of the fairytales for example, Sleeping Beauty which has a very dark story in the 15th Italian variant.
Overall, great if you love fairytale retelings and heroines that don't conform to stereotypes.

The light hearted tone lulls you into not expecting much more than a fun adventure, and while it definitely is that, there is real heart in the book. You end up loving all the characters for different things and at the start Danielle did have the tendency to come off as the boring 'straight man' of the group but she soon grows on you and watching her find her place in the Snow/Talia dynamic is really satisfying.
Definitely a good start to the series and just having finished the sequel can thoroughly recommend it.

Quite bad
Both the characters, and the world is quite botched. For example, the two most bad arse agents of the queen survive the first two encounters only through pure luck. Read more

Life in never-never isn't all sweetness and light
An excellent twist to the Happily Ever After. It's Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White as you've never seen them before and this time, it's the dashing Prince that's in... Read more
