I love the reworking of stories that are so much a part of the culture that it is rare to meet someone who is unfamiliar with them. The possibilities are many and varied and the method chosen by this author - making the Grimm's 'bad guy' into the 'good guy' has been done before (Gregory Maguire), but after reading just this one prequel it seems that the perceived bad guy isn't totally good, quite the opposite in fact, but there is enough change in motivation to create a great deal of interest.I would encourage the author to hire a good editor to correct some errors in sentence construction which make the story a bit confusing to read, but I am looking forward to reading further material from the series.
