Overall, the focus is on the four queens: Choice (Elise), Devotion (Malin), Honor (Saga), and Cunning (Calista). I will try not to give too many spoilers for the series as I share my thoughts, but there will be some slight spoilers on at least the first book since I can’t exactly avoid those to discuss the rest of the series.

This series is available on Kindle Unlimited. I’ll be updating this post as the books are released. I enjoyed this series a lot and can definitely see myself returning to the books again and again. I’m going to break my thoughts on the series into each of the sections, and share my overall thoughts on each rather than review each book individually, though I honestly could. The whole series is part Viking, part folklore, with Fae and magic.

Particularly since characters are introduced in the first book and their stories build on what happened in the previous ones. So, you can read the Cinderella books first, but it is recommended that you read them in the order they were published. While the series are separate, they occur in the same world and are interconnected. But by the end, all four tales will collide together for a grand finale. However, not all of the parts have been released as of yet. The first is Beauty and the Beast (books 1-3), the second is Cinderella (books 4-6), the third is Swan Princess (books 7-9), and the last is the Phantom of the Opera (10-12). This series by LJ Andrews is going to be broken into four parts. I love a good retelling or adaptation of classic folklore.
