WHEW! That title was a mouthful! ;)
I guess Shannon Hale thought it deserved that many words in the title since there are that many short stories in the book. (That's not an actual fact, but I'm sure it's close).
Once Upon A Time features short, introductory stories of a few favorite Ever After High characters from Hale's first three books in the series, as well as some newer characters that we haven't had much interaction with before. We are given a glimpse into their lives as they prepare to head back to Ever After High for the new school year, which happens to be their Legacy Year.
I am not a fan of short stories AT ALL. I have a hard time reading just a little bit of information about a character and feeling okay with that. I want more, darn it, MORE! It's not that the story isn't interesting... it's that I want to know what happened after the few hours of saying goodbye to family and home and heading off to school.
Really, that is the only reason I gave this book three stars. The writing was good and the stories were cute, but it wasn't enough story!
Rating: 3/5
- a book of short stories

Still haven't finished this one! I am stalled on the Dexter Charming story! It's too boring...
I agree - Dexter's and Daring's were probably the most boring in the book.
