Fractured Fairy Tales

Kirsten Simkiss

A solid 4 stars out of 5. 

I really enjoyed it! It's not a hard read and nothing is taken seriously at all. About half of the stories end in glorious puns, which is wonderful for me. I love puns. The worse they are and the harder I've walked into them, the better! My only complaint is that they had multiple versions of the same stories in the collection but didn't differentiate authors, if the authors were different. They also were a bit more ridiculous than I loved. Fractured indeed. I had a good laugh about a knight not breaking any laws listed in the Geneva Convention while fighting a dragon. It was silly and it caught me totally off guard.
