• Ranking Commercial Breaks

  You may think commercials are those nuisances interrupting your favorite shows but for these girls, being famous for thirty seconds is a big deal. Commercial acting is its own world with its own terms, protocols and competition that Kain makes as exciting as any Hollywood set.

• Ranking Jem and the Holograms

  After rereading the series over the year, I have to rank the arcs because let’s face it, some are just more totally outrageous than others.

• Ranking The Hero’s Guide trilogy

  Everyone knows the story of Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel and Snow White, but the truth is the bards got a lot wrong. For instance, all those Princes Charmings have a name, and their stories have cast them aside in various embarassing ways. But it’s not the annoying songs that bring the princes together. That all…

• Ranking Grimmtastic Girls

  So I’m the third series before I finish my fractured fairytale TBR pile. I was a big fan of Holub and Williams’ Goddess Girls series so they take the school AU to the fairytale universe. That trope is very popular, so let’s see how they rank up.

• Ranking Once Upon Another Time

  Riley returns to the series that started his career. Though the dimension has no name, the fairytale characters are larger than ever. Except Lena. She’s a giant, only she’s 12 feet tall. She’s more like a taller than average human and a doll to the giants. She’s been hidden from her people most of her…

• Ranking Royal Academy Rebels

  Calonita’s spin off/concurrent trilogy, Royal Academy Rebels brings readers back to the kingdom of Enchantsia. Only, it’s not the reformed villains who are in trouble. It’s the royals with their tiaras and ballgowns that bring the revolution. Actually, it’s one specific royal who doesn’t quite fit the box. Devin of the Nile couldn’t care less…

• Ranking Half Upon a Time

  As the son of the criminal giant killer and thief, Jack isn’t expected to do anything heroic. Since he’s constantly messing up princess rescue class, he knows he won’t be able to do anything heroic in his life. He’s not bred for adventure no matter what his grandfather says. But then a princess falls out…

• Ranking suppl. Land of Stories

  I’m calling these supplemental books because they are fun extras that expand the world, but you don’t necessarily need to read them. They’re just fun, I mean you can’t tell a writer enjoys their world when they keep adding stuff to it. I get it.

• Ranking W.i.t.c.h. arcs (again)

  I know I said I’d redo this once I read all the arcs but since arc 10 and arc 11 aren’t going to be published until next year, I decided just to add my thoughts on Arc 9 now before I forget it too much. Unfortunately, it ranks the very last as I’ll explain below.
