10.5) Happy Valentine's SlayWell... I liked the "other" Sandman more.  But then, I have a special love of that character already. :)  The story was interesting, but none of the characters are really favorites of mine so I didn't enjoy it as much as some of the other prequels.  But still a good tale!***Three stars11) Children of HamlinGreat follow-up story to Happy Valentine's Slay.  I liked the Devil a little more in this story, even if he isn't what I imagine him to be like.  The connection to the Black Death was interesting and I thought the history and fantasy flowed really well together.  Another one of my favorites.****Four stars12) Tooth & Nail & Fairy TaleWhile I still don't really like Jack, I LOVED hearing more about Wendy.  Her story gets more interesting with each book and the anticipation for the full series is crazy.  I also loved how dentists are portrayed in this book.  I thought it was funny and exactly how I used to imagine them years ago (still do sometimes, although I have great respect and appreciation for dentists.  I just don't like to visit them too often).  Excited for more Wendy stories!****Four stars13) Ember in the WindAbsolutely beautiful prequel.  I liked Alice a lot more in this book and the concept of the Dreamworld is even more intriguing.  I'm far more excited for Cinderella Dressed in Ashes than I was after reading Ashes to Ashes and Cinder to Cinder (which I do need to re-read eventually).  I was never a huge fan of the Cinderella story, so I'm excited to see what Cameron does with it!****Four stars14) Jar of HeartsHappy little squeaks of joy!  I love the Queen of Sorrow.  Seriously.  I enjoyed learning more about the Lost Seven and who they might be and why they are so important to the Queen.  I also really love how Cameron is incorporating more than just the Grimm characters into his stories.  Cassandra was an excellent addition (but I also adore Greek and Roman mythology) to the story and I can't wait to learn about all the new characters hinted at in this prequel!****Four stars!15) Welcome to Sorrow (included in my edition of this package)A cute little walk around Sorrow narrated by Igor.  This prequel adds more depth to the overall story and is the perfect lead into the full series.  Have I mentioned that I can't wait? :)****Four stars
