TOP REVIEWS OF THE 8TH RANK

Fantasy At Its Best

When I was a kid the mini-series to event of the 2000s was The 10th Kingdom. In that show a father and daughter get lost in a fairy tale world where warring trolls, giants and goblins have taken over the kingdoms of Snow White, Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood, and other stories. The 8th Rank is set up similarly where Sleeping Beauty, Frog Prince, and the Beast, all have separate kingdoms held under the control of the Queen of Hearts.

While the two are alike in setting, The 10th Kingdom as beloved as is it to me was also for kids. While The 8th Rank is far more representative with its gay main (and side) characters, steamy romance, and morals on not only getting back home, but accepting help from the stories in which we all probably grew up with to some degree. The series already has far more magic than my comparison, and I really enjoy seeing Mal come to slowly better understand. If you are looking for a straight retelling (pun intended), that’s not found here with a book where Red Riding Hood is an antagonist. But if you loved The 10th Kingdom, Once Upon A Time, or even Kingdom Hearts, but always thought could be more gay though, this is the book for you. – A 5 Star Review From TJ
