Riley Amos Reviews! Not your mother’s fairy tales…..Edition!

The stories I read today are short, simple, and a little twisted. Cinders is a spin on Cinderella, and a very good one I might add. The only knocks in my reviews came from this story. Hontas is a spin on the story of Pocahontas. I imagine a reviewer in the old days must have felt much the same way when reading “Through the Looking Glass” or “From the Mountains of Madness” as I did reading these. I felt the stories pushed a bit at the edges of my comfort zone, but that’s what the best of stories do. V.M. Sawh did a wonderful job with these stories.

They are Twisted, without too much of a dark turn to them, and were very enjoyable to read.

I love the imagery he uses. It’s very vivid and you can clearly see what he was trying to portray. I’m very much so a visual thinker, and I kept picturing Picasso like scenes as I read it. A bit from each of his periods.
Now for the knocks, though there’s only two. 1. I don’t like sex scenes in books.(Probably why I preferred Wheel of Time to Game of Thrones) I think they detract a bit from the work. 2 Because of that I can’t share these modified children’s tales with my mother, mostly because I know the look she’d give me.
But I did enjoy the stories.

If you are looking for a quick, fun, and twisted read, these are the stories for you. Check them out Cinders and Hontas on Amazon and Goodreads. Also, search for him on Wattpad!

    • I’ll say it, they were a bit more twisted than what I expected going in, but they were thoroughly enjoyable.
