Review:

I was disappointed with this story. It started out as a funny take on fairy tales but then turned into a standard fairy tale cliché but with really boring writing.

I also didn't like how the story spent way too much time on Alice's story line even though this story was supposed to be about both twin sisters Celia and Alice.

This was really boring despite the story trying so hard to be funny. Many of the secondary characters were more interesting than Celia and Alice. Neither really had much of a personality and were both in need of character development.

The Silver Rings had so much promise especially with such a funny beginning but unfortunately the story was not very good. Well at least for me.
