Goodreads review by Kathy on February 07, 2017

I just love this book. I read an early version of it, and that was incredible, but now I have just read the final version and I am even more blown away. This is one of those books that I just want to shove at people and say, “READ IT and you’ll understand!”, but I will try to be coherent here in exp......more

Goodreads review by Polly on October 13, 2016

The first thing that struck me about 'Disenchanted' is that it's a more mature story than 'Grounded', both in subject matter and in tone. But just like the first book in the Tyme series, the characters are beautifully and fully realized, the world building is incredible, and the story leaves you wan......more

Goodreads review by Elizabeth on March 03, 2017

Grounded was one of my favorite adaptations of the Rapunzel fairytale I’ve read, so I was excited to read Morrison’s latest work, this time taking on Cinderella’s fairytale—or so I thought. Instead, what I got was a preachy, “all rich people are evil” narrative without the faintest trace of Cinderel......more

Goodreads review by Devin on October 11, 2016

Ms. Morrison proves her excellent first book ([URL not allowed]) is no fluke in this masterfully told companion/sequel. The most impressive thing about this outing is the three different points of view: they each have a distinct voice (including one rather jaded fairy who never......more

Goodreads review by Molly on December 18, 2016

Megan Morrison’s second adventure in the land of Tyme, Disenchanted: The Trials of Cinderella, is an action-packed adventure that twists the tale of Cinderella and turns it into a new masterpiece. In one narrative, seamlessly switching between the points of view of Ella Coach, the new girl in her to......more

Quotes

Praise for Disenchanted: The Trials of Cinderella:



* "Endearing and believable characters… contemporary issues… liberal infusions of magic and humor… The book stands alone while also complementing Grounded (2015), the first in the series. Great, smart fun." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review



"Engrossing and delightful reading -- a can't-miss choice." -- Booklist



"Readers who like a fresh approach to traditional fairy tales will appreciate how the author blends themes of magic and modern-day economic justice." -- School Library Journal



"Morrison makes an abstract concept deeply personal, blending the characters' wishes for more agency in their own lives with the larger struggle of their society's oppressed." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books





Praise for Grounded: The Adventures of Rapunzel:



* "The novel does not miss a beat in creating Tyme, a beautifully described world with a seamless fusion of magical and nonmagical beings, scenery and objects... The characters are refreshingly three-dimensional, helping readers empathize with Rapunzel as she wrestles with universal feelings of love and betrayal... Readers will be eager for more episodes of the intrepid team of Rapunzel and Jack." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review



* "Morrison has a deft hand with both world-building and pacing, carefully constructing the geography and various politics of the fairy-tale world of Tyme in between chase scenes, bridge collapses, narrow escapes, and bargains with all sorts of devious beings. Rapunzel and Jack have an easy, witty banter going as they quest, adding a much appreciated dollop of humor to their tale." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review



"Those expecting a Disneyesque Rapunzel in Morrison's debut, first in the Tyme series, will be pleasantly surprised by the novel's emotional depth and inventiveness... A full-bodied world worth revisiting." -- Publishers Weekly



"Think you know Rapunzel's story? Think again, because the tower was only the beginning... With a lovable heroine who finds her courage, a somewhat reluctant guide, and an adventure worth following, Grounded is one of my favorite reads this year!" -- Jennifer Nielsen, New York Times bestselling author of The False Prince



"What makes Grounded so much fun is its ability to combine biting satire with the innocence of fairy tales. It's a sprightly, imaginative romp that keeps unraveling tales as quickly as it spins them, with a spunky heroine and charismatic thief guiding our way." -- Soman Chainani, New York Times bestselling author of The School for Good and Evil



"The last time I read a book this funny, this smart, and this charming, it was written by J.K. Rowling. Grounded reveals a wonderful new world begging to be explored, full of the kind of magical detail that turns casual readers into lifelong fans. The Tyme fandom begins here!" -- Melissa Anelli, author of the New York Times bestseller Harry, A History and webmistress of the Leaky Cauldron
