But, from what I understand, these four books are about Emma’s daughter Millie. There are also four more books of the series (Books 6-9), which I have not read, mostly because none of them feature Emma and the series didn’t really feel the same without her. The fifth book is about Emma’s aunt Grassina when she was fourteen. While the first book is a twist on the original Frog Prince fairytale, the next three books are original stories of completely different adventures the two go on. The first four books follow Princess Emma (full name Emeralda) and Prince Eadric. So, as you can guess, it’s a pretty simple series.īefore I get to the individual books review, I want to talk about the series as a whole. In fact, I probably finished this series in about 5 hours total. Surprisingly, the first book only took me about an hour to read. I read the first four books in the last two days. And, as one of my bookish New Year’s Resolutions for 2019, I wanted to reread some of my old favorites to see if my feelings have changed about them. Saying that, I haven’t read this series in five or more years. I discovered this series around 2007 (at the time, only five of the books were released, which is also how many I’ve read), and fell in love with it. I have been burned so many times by fairytale retellings, but this series is one that keeps me hoping that the next retelling I read may actually be good.
