The characters are both childish and more responsible than most adults I know (me included 😬), her parents are lovely (and alive!), the quests they go on are fun and scary, and it’s neat to see how the fairytales are going to be twisted.But Robin’s antics aren’t the only dangers afoot in the Kingdom of Never After. At the behest of her daughter, the evil Cinderella, Queen Olga has turned Prince Charming into a Frog after his wedding to the beautiful Hortense. And how could we forget the ominous Prophecy, which still looms large over Filomena and her friends?
