Series ✦ Penny’s Take
Fairest and the Frog
C. Rae D'Arc · 2023
63/100
👎 Skip It
The dual-world structure — ocean princess cursed by a frog, her sister meeting a photographer at a Renaissance Fair — gives this Dreaming Princesses sequel a genuinely inventive spin on familiar fairy-tale material. Readers already invested in the series will find a satisfying continuation, but the story leans hard on that investment and newcomers will feel the gaps.
