Review: Short stories continue to flesh out the Kingdom of Sorrow

The prequels continue, and they continue to expand upon an interesting storyline and characters.  This bundle contains stories about "Beauty & the Beast", "The Moongirl", "Rumpelstiltskin", and then more information regarding the Grimms in the final story of the collection.My least favorite of this bundle is "Once Beauty Twice Beast" because this is the story that told me the least about the character and didn't seem to fit in the puzzle of the rest of the stories.  All of the other characters overlap in their stories in some way, but this one is just locked in a castle by itself.  In contract, the Moongirl leads you to understand not only the main character of the story, but in a way it actually lets you learn more about Peter Pan than the Moongirl herself.  Reading this story makes you understand parts of "Blood Apples" and I actually went back to the first set of prequels to reread "Blood Apples" after reading Moongirl.My favorite story of this set, however, is "Jawigi."  Since I don't want to provide spoilers, I will say that you should read this one twice... the story reads very differently the second time!
