ONCE UPON A TIME: REAWAKENED BY ODETTE BEANE

Rating: 5 stars

Goodreads Book Description:

Emma Swan's life has been anything but a fairy tale. She's been on her own since she was abandoned as a baby--that is, until the night of her twenty-eighth birthday, when Henry, a ten-year-old boy, shows up on her doorstep. He's the son Emma gave up for adoption, and this surprise visit turns her life upside down.

Henry takes Emma back to his home in Storybrooke, Maine, where, Henry claims, all the residents are actually fairy tale characters who can't remember their true identities. And if Henry's right, that means that his sweet-natured, lonely schoolteacher Mary Margaret Blanchard is really Snow White, the iconic princess ... and also Emma's long-lost mother.

In Fairy Tale Land, we meet Snow White as a bandit on the run, forced into exile by her stepmother, the Evil Queen. Snow's a young woman learning to become a hero, who will do anything to live happily ever after with her one true love, Prince Charming.

The closer Emma comes to Henry in Storybrooke, the harder it is for her to ignore the dark curse that haunts this small New England town and binds her to Mary Margaret. If Emma can learn to accept her destiny as Storybrooke's savior and break the curse, she just might get the family reunion she's dreamed about her entire life.

My Review:

Based on the fantastical TV series created by Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, Once Upon A Time: Reawakened is to easily sum it up. It’s basically the first season of Once Upon A Time in book form, which in my opinion, being a huge fan is absolutely awesome!

I loved being able to read about my favourite characters and relive their captivating stories that stole the hearts of audiences all over the world.

Odette Beane writes Once Upon A Time: Reawakened with simplicity, sophistication and style. She defines each of the on-screen characters in the same way the actors have portrayed them, their quirks, the way they speak, carry themselves and interact with others.

I was so excited when finding this book in my local bookstore and I completely loved reading my favourite TV series in book form, it was a wonderful experience. I recommend both the book and TV series to any of you out there that love fairytales and amazing adventures into different realms!
