Once More Upon a Time by Roshani Chokshi is a charming and enchanting story about Imelda
and Ambrose who fall in love and are married only to be thwarted by a witch who takes their love away. They are forced to remain married and living in a castle for a year and a day. Upon the last day, a witch appears with an offer: complete a task for her and she will give them what they desire. Imelda and Ambrose accept the task, and they set off the adventure of collecting a potion for the witch. Are they capable of rediscovering the love they had for each other before the witch took it away? Do they get what they desire from the witch?
I loved the narrator voice of this story - witty, charming, and reminded me of a classic fairy tale. The characters are lovable, and you root for them. I highly recommend this story.
