Perfection. Once More Upon a Time was full of humor, interesting characters, and a mash-up of fairytales. It is a short read but highly enjoyable.

Well! I didn't know this romantic fairy tale novella would be a romantic comedy. A rather chuckle-worthy one at that. So, hey—nice bonus!

Not sure why I found the book dubbed as a young adult (YA) read. The main characters' ages are unspecified, but they've got to be older than teenagers, I'd say, especially as Imelda reflects on not being as young as she once was. More like new adult (NA) vibes than anything, here. If that.

I'd also say this fantasy adventure is engaging and well paced, making good use of its length. It's got a pretty clever quality to it, even with the brief, minor issue of "begging" and "commanding" sort of being confused at one point. The romance is nicely developed; some innuendo here and there and one "fade to black" married-couple scene.

On the whole, quite an enjoyable read from a new-to-me author. Wouldn't at all mind checking out more of her books. (

Cute, heartwarming and hilarious. This little short romance is all about finding freedom in love. I loved that it was short and concise. It was heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. And the hilarity and absurdity of some of it reminded me of classics such as the Princess Bride and Ella Enchanted. (

Once More Upon a Time by Roshani Chokshi is an adorable fairy tale for the modern audience. In a few short pages, Ms. Chokshi manages to stuff in action, adventure, romance, a moral or two, humor, and a few plot twists to make things interesting. She also builds a new world and manages some character development simultaneously. The full audiobook cast help make the story shine. Their earnestness, despite the craziness of their situation, made me laugh out loud several times. The whole experience is light and entertaining. Once More Upon a Time is the perfect palate cleanser after a difficult book. (

Exactly what I needed today. Funny and deeply romantic.

And Roshani Chokshi gave us another talking horse!! Oh how I love these surprise beasties. (
