Beautiful! Packaged well!!
I’m only about one third of the way into the book, but am enjoying it. A new take on fracturing fairy tales. The characters are old but seen in a new light. Can’t wait to read more.
Delightful end or is it to this series of books. Nice to see a crossover to another book series and would love to see that happen again.
Apiya concludes her mission but needs to confront her enemy Yue. How will that work out? Needless to say things don’t go to plan! Enjoy
I love this retelling of the Phantom of the Opera! The book was made with great detail and it is by far one of the most beautiful books I have on my shelf!

The book came and turned out to be even more beautiful than I was expecting! I haven’t had a chance to read it yet, but the description had me hooked as a Phantom of the Opera fan!
More Beautiful than the pictures. Love it. My sister was instantly jealous and tried to steal it.
I originally had the wrong address in my Apple Pay and customer service was very helpful and helped me to track down my order and get the address changed. They were very friendly and very quick.
I just began reading it, and im enjoying it so far! The illustrations and cover art are 💘💘!!
LOVE, LOVE LOVE This beautiful hardback edition, so beautifully designed and illustrated. Love the story, a wonderful refreshing take on a classic fairy-tale. I fell in love with the story and characters from the first page. Its a truly unique story, highlighting that "fairy-tale happy endings" doesnt have to fit a specific mold. Love the heroine, and how she breaks the mold on the typical fairy tale, and writes her own story.
I first experienced Once Upon a Thyme as an ebook, and I adored it so much that I simply had to own the deluxe hardcover. It wasn’t an impulse purchase—it was a book that earned a permanent place on my shelves, and after seeing the care that had gone into this edition, I knew it would become a forever favourite.
This is, without question, one of the most beautiful special editions I’ve ever added to my collection. Every detail has been thoughtfully crafted—from the breathtaking dust jacket and illustrated case beneath it to the stunning sprayed edges, full-colour endpapers, and gorgeous artwork woven throughout the book. It’s the kind of edition that invites you to slow down, savour every page, and admire it long after you’ve finished reading. The quality exceeded my expectations in every way.
As for the story itself, it was every bit as charming as its presentation. Celine Jeanjean takes familiar fairy-tale tropes and joyfully turns them on their head, creating a world that is whimsical, witty, and full of heart. The humour had me smiling throughout, the characters were delightfully memorable, and beneath all the playful chaos was a genuinely touching story about embracing who you are rather than who the world expects you to be.
The illustrations elevate the experience even further. Rather than feeling like extras, they become part of the storytelling, making the world feel richer and more immersive with every chapter. By the time I reached the final page, I wasn’t just impressed by how beautiful the book was—I was reminded exactly why I’d fallen in love with the story the first time I read it.
If you’re considering the deluxe edition, don’t hesitate. If the ebook made me fall in love with the story, this edition made me fall in love with owning it. It’s a keepsake as much as it is a novel, and one of those rare books that feels every bit as magical in your hands as the story does in your imagination.
Have not read yet, but the book is stunning. I think it the prettiest SE, I have seen.
Fast shipper
I haven’t read the book yet but it’s totally gorgeous and worth the money. Can’t wait to read it!
The 📚s are beautiful. I even like the ink bottle and the 🪶 pen too.
