For Ada the opera house represents escape from a world she doesn't fit. For Eric it is where he finally belongs.

A captivating tale, thoroughly engaging. Recommended...

Adrianna is a Princess, but not a very good one. She hasn’t managed to be saved by a Prince and her evil stepmother and stepsister aren’t actually evil. After one of the numerous balls she attended, Prince Charming comes calling but not on her, on her stepmother Petunia. With their storyline in danger of going off the rails, Adrianna must figure out a way to marry a prince or rush her stepsister, Alinore being rearranged. When she finds a stable hand to help her steal a dragon egg, will her storyline have a chance at righting itself or will they all be doomed?
Adrianna is not the typical princess. She enjoys playing, running, drinking wine with her fairy godmother, Mirabelle - all things a princess should never do. She only looks for a prince bc it was what she was born to do. Alinore is the sister who is true princess material, right down to being kind to all living things even spiders. They have a silly, barely functioning castle and no real money on hand. They definitely go against the grain in Once Upon Thyme. But my favorite has to Mirabelle. She is not what you expect a fairy godmother to be. She likes drinking, being bawdy and terrorizing the gardener.
This was a fun twist on fairytales. It pokes fun at and holes into the fairytale theme. What happens after the Happily Ever After? No one knows and sometimes, it seems, it may be better that way! It was humorous and entertaining while adding a dash of danger towards the end. It’s a fast paced book and such a quick and easy read as well. And now that their story story has been rewritten, I wonder what will come next!

I’ve read the Viper and the Urchin series and thought I would give this a go.
Thoroughly enjoyed it a nice relaxing book to read but with enough going on to keep you reading it.
Enough action and humour for our heroine to encounter set in the mystical Asian environment that links the old superstitions in a modern world. This sets the up for what the future lies ahead for our heroine and only a year to save things.
Looking forward to the next read

I loved every bit of this book! I enjoyed how Celina had Adrianna call out how ridiculous the typical fairy tale is. I would truly love to read a "fairy tale" about a mid-life spinster princess living her own life on her terms. I would tell this fairy tale over the typical fairy tale to my children.

A super smashing and magical book I flew it so fast I couldn't stop reading it was brilliant and the characters so original

More action and further intriguing revelations into Apiya's background and potential powers in this 3rd instalment. The tale had a lot of momentum but I felt it lacked the depth of the earlier books and stopped too soon, leaving a need to read the next book.

Both Ada and Eric leave unhappy homes and they find each other in the Grand Opera House. While pursuing their individual happiness while working and studying, murders of their coworkers take place around them. Story is a retelling of Phantom of the Opera, but HEA at end.

Gorgeous book! The story is riveting and well written.

This is an amazing retelling of the phantom.of the opera with the gender roles reversed I absolutely loved it loads

Enjoyable combination of action with South Asian mythology and magic together with modern ethical problems being solved on the Apiya's journey of self-discovery. This second stage brings a dangerous new foe and an intriguing new alliance - looking forward to the next book!

Adrianna's quest to solve her Princessly woes start to raise hackles when she rejects The StoryLine...

A fun tale, kept me reading.

Fun story. Very good illustrations that identify the characters and really help the story along.

This book was a delightfully enjoyable read, and the artwork and extras in the bundle made it so much more special! I regret nothing and would absolutely buy this again if I had to... but I don't, because I now have this book forever.
