It isn't easy being the rather overlooked and unhappy youngest sibling to sisters named for the other six days of the week. Sunday's only comfort is writing stories, although what she writes has a terrible tendency to come true.

When Sunday meets an enchanted frog who asks about her stories, the two become friends. Soon that friendship deepens into something magical. One night Sunday kisses her frog goodbye and leaves, not realizing that her love has transformed him back into Rumbold, the crown prince of Arillandâ??and a man Sunday's family despises.The prince returns to his castle, intent on making Sunday fall in love with him as the man he is, not the frog he was. But Sunday is not so easy to woo. How can she feel such a strange, strong attraction for this prince she barely knows? And what twisted secrets lie hidden in his pastâ??and… (més)

I liked the concept behind the book. I even enjoyed the fact that every fairy tale I've ever heard off was stuffed into this book.

However the writing style lacked something, that ability to make a reader forget the world around them and fall completely into the story. For a book about stories, it really disappointed me. ( )

3½ stars. This was an enjoyable take on the well-known fairy tales, ranging from Jack & the Beanstalk to Cinderella to Sleeping Beauty. Katherine Kellgren did a wonderful job with the narration. ( )

Wonderful story told by an accomplished narrator who made the story come alive. ( )

Now here’s a fresh and excellent take on fairy tale shenanigans. Sunday Woodcutter, 7th daughter of a 7th daughter meets a frog at a fairy well and starts to tell a story… Wonderful weaving together of a whole host of tales in new and unexpected ways. Engrossing and lively. ( )

This was a confusing, nonsensical read. In fact, if this book were a person, I'd probably diagnose it with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Clearly something prion-like was having a great time gnawing away on the characters, the plot, the backstory, entire essential scenes, the world-building...even the writing. (Though I did like the line, "They say that secrets live at the bottom of a wine bottle. Mama had made it there the night before, slow glass by slow glass[...]")

I finished this in hopes of finding some clarity. Instead, I got a vaguely sensible conclusion and an Acknowledgments filled with so much name-dropping, I started wondering if the author had written this entire book just so she could publish two pages' worth of cryptic references to Kim Jong-Il, John Scalzi, Orson Scott Card, Andre Norton, Sherrilyn Kenyon (and the boys), fancy editors who accepted her stories in other publications, the people of Cincinnati, and various workshops, writing clubs, contests, and random Starbucks. (All of which, clearly, anyone who is Anyone should know.) ( )

Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day
Is blithe and bonny and good and gay.

"There are four things that make a man fight as you just did," the duke explained to Rumbold.  "Love, despair, anger, or insanity."
Erik counted them off on his fingers.  "Everything to lose, nothing to lose, someone's taken it, or you've lost it."
