Once Upon Academy The Winter Ball Review:

“Once Upon Academy Winter Ball” is the second book in the anthology series and equally fun as the first book.

I love how the creators teamed up for the concept of the book. We see characters from different fairy tales who attend the academy come together for the Winter Ball in this volume. However, they encounter drama, excitement, and other exciting thrills in the process. Having read the first book, I loved revisiting the characters from the first book, like Zeke, Perle, Ryder, and even Ms. Fay. Below is my review of each tale.

Mice and Magic: What a fun start to the series. While the story starts slowly, it is in full swing once Melanie and her posse wreak havoc. Cindy is great as she tries to communicate with Eton and Raven, and I wondered what would happen.

Secrets of the Ring: Mandevar and Grenna return in another tale, and I loved the storyline with the Djinn, the ring, and the carpet. Ida is an interesting character, and I enjoyed the scenes with Mande hearing his mother.

Perle of Love: This was my favorite story in the book! I loved how the author wrote Zeke and the conflicting feelings of feeling defective and disappointed. Similarly, Perle’s storyline is gripping with what happens with Tilda.

Fear No Raven: This one was interesting because of the twist between Balen and Astrid on trying to kill him. The author wrote their romance beautifully and almost had a gothic feel.

Shadowed Hearts: A sweet conclusion to the anthology featuring one of my favorite characters Ryder and his feelings for Gemma.

Overall, “Once Upon Academy Winter Ball” is a beautiful addition to the series, and I hope the writers continue to make more!
