3 posts | 10 read | 23 to read

"ONCE UPON A TIME"IS TIMELESS In a faraway kingdom, a king has been betrayed. Deeply hurt and bitterly angry, he vows never to be deceived again. Unfortunately, the king's plan to protect himself will endanger all of the realm's young women, unless one of them will volunteer to marry the king -- and surrender her life. To everyone's relief and horror, one young woman steps forward. The daughter of a legendary storyteller, Shahrazad believes it is her destiny to accept this risk and sacrifice herself. On the night of her wedding to the king, Shahrazad begins to weave a tale. Fascinated, the king lets her live night after night. Just when Shahrazad dares to believe that she has found a way to keep her life -- and an unexpected love -- a treacherous plot will disrupt her plan. Now she can only hope that love is strong enough to save her.

I read this because a friend recommended it to me. I didn't even read the back of the book before starting it, so I had no clue what it was about. I'm kind of glad I didn't have that information because it allowed me to be completely taken by surprise. It was an amazing story. It brought back that feeling during childhood when you are experiencing a fairytale for the first time. I plan to reread the book and check out the others by this author.

I remember buying this from a book fair in middle school. Do they even still have those? It's one of the books that started my love of fairy tale retelling. I'll still reread it if I need something short and sweet. In this case I read it during the Olympics when there was too much reporting and not enough sports lol.
