I loved some of the pieces, but not all of them worked for me. Overall, for me, this collection was both a hit and a miss. I loved how the two pieces went together for each poem and story as it gave a new level to my reading experience. This is one reason I highly recommend the print over the audio, unless you do both, as you miss the drawings in the audio version. Along with the writing are illustrations done by the author that accompanies each piece which was gorgeous. There are princesses rescuing themselves, villains who are comfortable being villains, new perspectives on certain stories, and many other unique twists. There is a large mix of poems and stories, so there is bound to be something that every reader will enjoy. Fierce Fairytales is a collection of familiar stories with a new look whether it be a twist on good and evil or a feminist look on the idea of the damsel (or princess) in distress.
