MORE UNFAIRY TALES

(Carthick's Unfairy Tales Book 2)

by

T.F. Carthick

Blurb

A knight rescues a damsel in distress. They marry, the whole kingdom rejoices, and everyone lives happily ever after. The end.

Or at least that's what Official sources say. But what tales do insiders tell? What secrets lie buried deep inside Davey Jones' Locker?

What, dear reader, about The Unfairy tales?

The stories the Knight-in-Shining-Armour and the Damsel-in-Distress have never wanted you to know. Tales which Fairyland had kept locked up in secret and thrown away the key. Until our rogue bard went back in time and ferreted out skeletons hidden within secret cupboards of desolate mansions.

Our fearless crusader of truth and justice brings to you the second volume of revelations from fairyland.

You will find five more unfairy tales hidden within the pages of this tiny tome, the sequel to Carthick's Unfairy Tales. Stories of elves out to decipher the ways of men and dwarves seeking to reclaim their own histories. Of spurned witches and lost wolves. These stories are going to change everything you have ever believed about fairyland and give you a peek underneath the gossamer threads of glamour and magic peddled by the Fae.

My Review

Having enjoyed reading the first book called Carthick’s Unfairy Tales, I decided to read this one also by TF Carthik. This is once again a collection of five fairy tales with twists unique to the author’s style.

The cover looks gorgeous and colourful, even better than the last one. Congrats! 

Hats off to the author’s vivid imagination, turning all these classic tales into something else altogether. 

If on a Winter’s Night a Dwarf 

The title made me guess that it’s about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and I was glad to know that I was right. The narration is from the view point of the seven dwarfs and is a thumb-in-nose take on the original. Each of the seven dwarfs speaks about his take on Snow White’s impact on their lives. 

Lost Love’s Labors 

It took me a while to realise it’s the story of the Beauty and the Beast. Unexpected twist in the tale. Well done.

The Jungle Tale 

Red Riding Hood! This one read like a strangely botched up story. Though the add on about the lost little wolf was nice to read.

Daughters and Lovers

Rapunzel! A modern twist and a witch with a heart. One of the better stories in this collection. 

Shoes and Man

This is the twisted tale of The Elves and the Shoemaker. It shows—as do all the stories in fact—the mean nature of human kind. 

While the stories are well written, I wish they could have been more show than tell. They could also have been shorter and crisper. 

You must give it a read if you like twisted fairy tales, as unfairy as they can get.

Sundari Venkatraman is an indie author who has 45 titles (42 books; 3 collections) to her name, all Top 100 Bestsellers on Amazon India, Amazon USA, Amazon UK, Amazon Canada and Amazon Australia in both romance as well as Asian Drama categories. Her latest hot romances have all been on #1 Bestseller slot in Amazon India for over a month.

Even as a kid, Sundari absolutely loved the ‘lived happily ever after’ syndrome as she grew up reading all the fairy tales she could lay her hands on, Phantom comics, Mandrake comics and the like. It was always about good triumphing over evil and a happy end. 

Soon, into her teens, Sundari switched her attention from fairy tales to Mills & Boon. While she loved reading both of these, she kept visualising what would have happened if there were similar situations happening in India; to a local hero and heroine. Her imagination took flight and she always lived in a rosy cocoon of romance over the years. 

Then came the writing – a true bolt out of the blue! And Sundari Venkatraman has never looked back.

Rituraj realises he’s in love with the Gaekwad princess, Sitara Devi. The timing is slightly wrong though. Just ten minutes ago Sitara Devi married Harishchandra Gajanan. All of seventeen and nursing a badly bruised heart, Rituraj takes up boxing, hoping to build his strength and heal his wounded soul.

When destiny gives them a second chance, hope springs in his heart.

Rituraj grabs the opportunity of becoming Sitara’s bodyguard-cum-assistant. He’s the only man in her life but he’s just her Man Friday. Since his father was merely an employee of Sitara’s father, will he even be considered as a prospective life partner for the Gaekwad princess? 

Sitara, and Rituraj are crazily attracted to each other, yet they are unable to move forward. So where is the hitch? Why the fear in taking the relationship to the next level?

Class Barriers! Debauchery! Sexual Perversion!

It looks like ‘Ne’er the twain shall meet’. 

Read the book to find out if Sitara eventually gets together with her Man Friday.
